Hi, @Mcdricky.
Let me share some info on how you can install an older version of QuickBooks Desktop on a new computer. My colleague, @KlentB, give this solution above this thread.
Older versions of QuickBooks will be compatible with the older Windows operating system. You can consult your IT specialist to guide you on how to downgrade your OS so that you can seamlessly install an old QuickBooks version to a new computer with an old OS.
Once done, you'll want to install QuickBooks with these steps:
- Open the installer file you've downloaded (QuickBooks.exe).
- Follow the onscreen instructions.
- Accept the software license agreement, then select Next.
- Enter your Product and License numbers, then click Next.
- Select Express and then Next.
- Select Install.
- When it finishes, select Open QuickBooks to get started.
For the detailed procedures, you can refer to this article: Install QuickBooks Desktop. It includes a link to get started with QuickBooks found on the Learn more about QuickBooks Desktop section.
If you've saved a backup file, you can then restore it once you have successfully installed QuickBooks.
Feel free to place a comment here if you have additional questions. I'll keep my notifications open. Stay safe and well!
