You're in the right place to find out what you need to know about installing, registering, and setting up a network. Here you'll learn about how to install your version, how to register and set up a network, and how to troubleshoot installation problems.

When you install a new version of QuickBooks on a computer where another version is already installed, you have the choice of adding the latest version in a new location or upgrading and replacing the earlier version.

 

• We suggest you accept the default location and keep your old installation of QuickBooks. You can have both your old and new versions of QuickBooks installed at the same time. This is an especially good choice for users who need to switch between different versions, such as ProAdvisors or accountants.

  Regardless, we also recommend that you back up your company file before upgrading your version of QuickBooks.
