Thanks for chiming in on this thread, TSneed.
I'll share details and steps to help you modify your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) program.
When uninstalling your desktop software, this won't affect any data stored in your company file. Before this process, I'd suggest securing a backup copy of your file. Make sure to save them to your local hard drive and restore it at any time.
Once ready, you can follow these steps to uninstall QuickBooks:
- Open the Windows Start menu. Enter and open Control Panel.
- Select Programs and Features or Uninstall a Program.
- From the list of programs, select QuickBooks Desktop.
- Select Uninstall/Change, Remove, and click Next.
- If this option is not visible on your end, sign out and sign back in to Windows as an admin.
Once done, you'll need to install QBDT again. Here's how:
- Open the file QuickBooks.exe.
- Follow the on-screen instructions. Accept the software license agreement and then select Next.
- Enter your product and license numbers. Then select Next.
Once everything looks good, right-click the QB icon on your desktop screen and select Run as administrator to update the QuickBooks release.
