Question

My hard drive crashed and I have a back up copy of my old quickbooks file. Can I open a quickbooks online account and import my old quickbooks file?

It depends on how old your QBB file is. Which QBD CA edition and version (year) do you have?

Thanks for your quick reply. It was the 2016 version.

Install the trial license of Pro/Premier 2020 and try restroring your QBB file on it

Once it is converted successfully, open a QBO CA version to migrate the data

Good luck!
