Hi, @talinternational.
I'm glad to assist you today so you can successfully install QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) on your computer.
To be able to use QuickBooks Desktop with Payroll, you'll need to get a separate payroll subscription and link it to your QBDT company. First, let's install QBDT on your computer. Here's how:
Note: Make sure your computer meets the system requirements and download your version of QuickBooks Desktop first. Have your product and license number handy.
- Locate the folder where you saved the installer.
- Open the file QuickBooks.exe.
- Follow the onscreen instructions. Accept the software license agreement and then select Next.
- Enter your Product and License numbers. Then select Next.

Next is to get a payroll subscription. To do this, you have the option to purchase it online or from a retail store. When done, you're now ready to activate your payroll subscription.
