QuickBooks is an accounting software package produced by Intuit.
There are several versions of QuickBooks. The different versions may have slightly different ways of copying data to a new PC. In the first instance you may want to contact customer support who will talk you through it.
POINTS TO NOTE
When QuickBooks is first installed, the program makes changes to you PC so that the software is properly accommodated and runs smoothly.
To set up QuickBooks on another computer, it is normally necessary to install the program on the new PC using the manufacturer's original disk.
To copy data from your old PC to your new PC, you will have to export all your data files to your new PC too.
Alternatively, at this stage you may wish to start afresh and set up a new company entirely from scratch on the new PC. This will give you the opportunity to review your set up and also prevents any corrupted 'company data' files from being copied across.
After setting up the company you will need to export/import the files containing such information as Customer and Supplier information (on the respective Customer and Supplier 'Cards'), the Chart of Accounts, Product Information, and Payroll etc. etc.
There are two key steps to transferring data.
- From your old PC, 'export' the data you want to a place where you can access it. (Using File, Utilities, Export)
- Import that data file into your new PC. Do this from your new PC use File, Utilities, Import...
(If your two Pc's are connected, you can do this without an intermediary data device. But if they are not connected, you need to put the data on to a memory device, e.g. USB memory stick, external drive etc. and from there either copy the file to a suitable location on your new PC, or, alternatively connect your memory device to your new PC and 'import' the data directly from it into the QuickBooks program on your new PC.)
To complete this import stage you need to select
...Browse, and find the location where you saved the exported data. Select the file you want and click the Openbutton.
Depending on how much data you have, the whole process could take some time, as there are many links between data that QuickBooks has to make in order to make a fully functioning copy.
