moving files

I'd be pleased to help ensure you're able to move your files to your new subscription, ice cream girl.

As referenced by Fiat Lux - ASIA above, if you've saved a backup copy of your company files, we can restore it to your new QuickBooks Desktop subscription. Below are the steps to complete the process:

1. Click File at the top menu bar and choose Open or Restore Company.
2. Select Restore a backup copy and then Next.
3. Tap Local Backup and then Next.
4. Browse your computer for your backup company file. It should look like this: [Your company name].qbb.
5. Select a folder to decide where to save your restored company file. Then select Open.
6. When you're ready, select Save. If you see any messages about possibly overwriting your data, select the option that best fits your needs. Don't overwrite anything unless you know you want to.

Please be reminded that If you open the backup in the same folder as your existing company file, you may overwrite your data. To avoid overwriting anything, you can rename your existing company file or the backup so the names are unique. Or you can save the backup in a completely separate folder.

The following resources will help guide us in moving your files. On the same link, we can find more details about to use the migrator tool:
