Let me clarify things out for you, @dfloyd8717.
Yes, you'll first have to install the 2016 version on your Windows 7 computer. Then, convert the files by performing the upgrade process I provided above. After that, install the 2019 version.
I'd still suggest checking out this website: Upgrade Your Company Files after Switching to a New Version of QuickBooks Desktop. This link provides you the detailed steps on how to complete the upgrade process.
In case you see any errors when installing the software, visit this article: Fix QuickBooks Desktop Install Errors. You'll find links and steps on how to fix them.
I'm looking forward to the success of the file upgrade, @dfloyd8717.
Please know that I'm always available to help if there's anything else you need. Take care always.
