This article is intended to serve as a summary of one specific QuickBooks 2019 product feature, it is not an in-depth review nor has it been written to provide instruction in the proper use of the software (or feature). Be aware that certain aspects of features described or illustrated herein may have changed between the pre-release software version we used and the release of QuickBooks 2019 desktop products scheduled for September 4, 2018. Graphics or other illustrations used in this article have either been prepared using a pre-release version of QuickBooks 2019 software, or were furnished and/or adapted from Intuit source content. Once you select the ' Move QuickBooks to another computer' option from the QuickBooks Utilities options, QuickBooks will close itself and then launch the Migrator Tool which looks like the screen shown below.īy the way, Intuit says that this tool wasn't designed for multi-user (networked) QuickBooks environments because it doesn't copy any of the configuration information related to network set-up (etc.), so at the time of this article, I hadn't attempted to use it to migrate a server (with complete QuickBooks installation) and Company files to a different server. I may have more information about that in a follow-up article I am considering on this functionality. QuickBooks will even tell you how much space you will need on the flash drive as part of the migration process. You also need a USB flash drive with enough free space to hold your QuickBooks files.
To use this feature, you must be the QuickBooks Administrator and you must have Windows Admin privileges for the new computer where QuickBooks will be installed, which must also have Internet connectivity. only) versions include this almost 'fully automated' migrator tool for moving QuickBooks Desktop from one computer to a different computer, including your last 3 Company files opened. Even though this feature was introduced in a QuickBooks 2018 release update, it is included within Intuit's list of QuickBooks 2019 features because this is the first year that this feature will have been available for the entire product release.
