Updating your company file to a newer version of QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) is an easy process, linewalk. Let me assist you in managing your data and upgrading the QBDT Pro Plus 2021 to 2024 version.
To answer your question, you'll only need to update your company file from QBDT 2021 to 2024. Importing and exporting data using IIF files is unnecessary when upgrading your desktop version. However, it's crucial to understand that this process is irreversible once your company data is updated to the latest QuickBooks edition.
In addition to this, you can upgrade your QBDT Pro Plus 2021 to 2024 instantly without installing other versions. Beforehand, please ensure that you have already purchased QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus 2024 and have your license number ready, as these are required for the upgrade process.
Once ready, refer to these steps when upgrading your version:
- Start with downloading the QuickBooks Desktop Manager.
- Next, click Download.
- Select the QuickBooks License Agreement and click Let's get started.
- From there, enter the license number to look for your QBDT 2024 and select Search.
- Then, pick the email address you use to receive OTP. Once received, enter it in the dedicated field.
- After that look for your QBDT 2024 and select Install.
