Hello,

We currently use QB-Desktop-Pro-2014 and upgrading to QB-Desktop-Premier-2021.

 

1. Will we be able to upgrade all files from Pro-2014 to Premier-2021?

 

2. Which file extensions are needed for the upgrade, currently we have the following extensions:

.DSN, .MTA, .LMR, .ND, .QBW, .TLG

 

Thanks.

Create a backup file (i.e QBB) and restore it on your QBD 2021.

    i have 2014 premier edition on desktop. I want to move it to a new computer, is this possible without upgrade? Is there a charge to upgrade?

      I can help walk you through installing QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) on another computer. @Sub zero.

       

      You can still install your QuickBooks Desktop 2014 to your new computer. But we no longer support for installation, upgrades, error messages, and product defects for this version of QuickBooks. Fully supported products are QuickBooks Desktop Pro, Premier and QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018. 

       

      Check this article for more information: QuickBooks Desktop service discontinuation policy and upgrade information.

       

      Here's how:

      1. Go to your new computer and install QuickBooks.
      2. Once done, go back to the old one and create a backup copy of your company file.
      3. Copy the backup file to your new one using a flash drive or other external device or through a network, if they're connected.
      4. Then, restore the backup on the new PC.

      Let me know if there's anything that I can help with installing your QuickBooks to your new computer. I'm always here to provide help and answer any questions that you may have. Have a great rest of the day!
