Hi there, sand100.
You'll be glad to know that QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) is now compatible with Windows 11.
QuickBooks requires you to use Windows natively and not through an emulator or virtual environment. To find out what your computer needs, check out this article: System requirements for QuickBooks Desktop 2022.
To upgrade to the 2022 version, here are the steps you can follow.
- Make sure all users log out of your company file.
- Open your new version of QuickBooks Desktop.
- Tap Open or Restore Company if you don't have a company file open. You can also go to the File menu and select Open or Restore Company.
- Select Open a company file, then Next. If you have a backup company file (QBB) instead of a company file (QBW), choose Restore a backup copy and then Local backup.
- Browse your computer for your company file. Select it and then hit Open.
- Sign in to your company file as an admin user.
- Before you upgrade, QuickBooks automatically creates a backup of your existing company file. Then click Change this default location to save the backup in a specific folder.
- Press Update Now to start the upgrade.
- When QuickBooks finishes, click Done.
You can now open your company file in your new version of QBDT. If you keep your company files on a server, just move them back. Here's an article you can refer to for more details about upgrading your company files after switching to a new version.
