When moving QuickBooks to a new device, there are system requirements you take into consideration. You will get the above-mentioned error message if the criteria are not satisfied. The following operating systems work with QBDT 2017:
- Windows 10, all editions including 64-bit, natively installed
- Windows 8.1 (Update 1), all editions including 64-bit, natively installed
- Windows 7 SP1, all editions including 64-bit, natively installed
- Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2008 R2
Furthermore, since you're restoring the file per business if you manually move QuickBooks, data files will not be affected or mixed up.
