Install
I know how to install QuickBooks on another computer, Edward.
Before we start, make sure to prepare your product and license info available. Then, perform the following steps I've outlined below.
- Uninstall the existing QuickBooks application before trying a reinstall.
- On the computer where you want QuickBooks Desktop installed, download the installation files or insert the CD.
- Install QuickBooks Desktop as you normally would.
If you don't have the CD, let's get the installer through the Download and Updates website. Here's how:
- Go to the Downloads & Updates page link.
- Choose a country, the QuickBooks product, and the version.
- Click Search once done.
- Hit Download.
Another way of moving QuickBooks to another computer is to use a special tool. This depends on the version you've used. Please refer to this article for the complete steps: Move QuickBooks Desktop using the Migrator Tool.
After installing QuickBooks on the new computer, you can restore the company file. This lets you go back to one of your save points when the computer crashes or need to undo recent changes.
I'm still around to answer other questions you may have with the moving QuickBooks to another computer. Drop me a line below so I can help you right away.
