Hi there, @dorothy9437.

 

Thank you for reaching out to us here on the Community page. I can share with you some information on how to install QuickBooks on a new computer.

 

First, download QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) from the website. 

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Open this link: https://downloads.quickbooks.com/app/qbdt/products.
  2. Select the country, product, and version of QuickBooks, then tap Search.
  3. Hit Download.

Then, proceed with installing QuickBooks. For your guide, check out this link: Install QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Once completed, you can restore your files to the newly installed QBDT.

 

  1. Go to the File menu, then tap Open or Restore Company.
  2. Choose Restore a backup copy and then Next.
  3. Select Local Backup and then Next.
  4. Browse your computer for your backup company file. It should look like this: [Your company name].qbb.
  5. Select a folder to decide where to save your restored company file. Then select Open.
  6. When you're ready, select Save
