@KJKoenig  RE: We were doing just fine with our Desktop 2017 version which, by the way was WA-A-A-A-Y more than we needed for our small farming operation. Since we do not have any employees, we do not need or do payroll, invoices, budgets. or tax forms through Quickbooks. 

In that case, you have no need to upgrade. You can stay on 2017 as long as you want.
