2025. Nope didn't work.

1. I backed up QB on old computer, put the qbw file onto a portable drive

2. Using license and product key, downloaded QB DesktopPro 2018 to new computer. (I hvae the software in CD form but no CD drive on new computer.)

3. Tried to restore from backup file and QB pops up that I must update the software. I do NOT want to update the software. I want to use the 2018 version I have.

FYI, I tried migration instructions but ran into a wall as I followed all directions which led me to the step of double clicking on the .bat file wherein nothing happened other than that my windows command window opened with an error requesting cannot find Move_quickbooks.exe. Which, of course, doesn't exist.
