How do I transfer Quickbooks 2016 for Mac on old Mac Book Pro to a new 2023 Mac Book Pro laptop?

Hi-

 

I have an old MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016 with MacOS High Sierra 10.3.6) that has Quickbooks 2016 for Mac. In my Quickbooks 2016 for Mac the extension of my company Quickbooks files are .qb2016.

 

I am in the process of buying a new 2023 MacBook Pro (16" Laptop - M3 Pro chip, with Sonoma (assuming) and am trying to find the best way to transfer my current Quickbooks 2016 for Mac and .qb2016 files to my new computer so QB still works.

 

I would also like to possibly buy the QuickBooks Desktop Mac Plus ) https://quickbooks.intuit.com/email/final-desktop-plus-sale/ ) to install on my new 2023 MacBook Pro instead of using the online version of Quickbooks - Can I do this as an owner of Quickbooks 2016 for Mac. (Not sure if I am an existing subscriber?) Or is there a cheaper QB version that will work for purchase like Quickbooks 2023 for Mac for desktop.  I really just need accounting features (we don't use QB for payroll, pay credit cards, send payments or print checks).

 

Will QuickBooks Desktop Mac Plus work on the 2023 MacBook Pro?

 

What are the best steps / directions to accomplish this to get my old Quickbook files and Quickbooks on to my new 2023 MacBook Pro?

 

Thanks.
