The previous owner of our company gave us a flash drive with his old QBDT data and Im not able to access it. My computer does not support desktop and it wont let me open the file with any other app. Suggestions?

***I do NOT want to merge his files with ours***

Do you only need to review the file or convert it to QB Online? Ask your client, which QB Desktop year version did they use?

I only need to review it. It looks like he did the back up this year, Im not sure if that means he had an up-to-date version or not

You can use the trial version of QB Desktop 2024 Enterprise to restore the backup file.
