Installing Multiple QuickBooks Desktop Versions on One Computer

The user can install multiple versions of QuickBooks using the below steps:

1. In case the user hasn’t already, then he/she is required to download the version or edition. And then save the file somewhere one can easily spot it, such as windows desktop.
2. And then, open the QuickBooks.exe that was downloaded earlier.
3. Now, follow the on-screen prompts. And when you get the installation type, then select custom and network options. And don’t select express.

1. The next step is to select custom network option. In case the user plans to use QuickBooks only on this system and not share your files over a network, then select I’ll be using QuickBooks desktop on this computer. In case you are setting up a multi user network, then select either I’ll be using, and or I will not be using depending on the setup.

1. When installing multiple versions or editions, QuickBooks asks if you want to replace what’s currently on the computer. Don’t replace anything, unless that’s what you want to do. In order to avoid overwriting the data, create unique install folders for each version and edition. When you get to the upgrade to change installation location window, and select change the install location.
2. Choose browse, and right click the window and create a new folder. Don’t select the existing QuickBooks folder or any folders that have QuickBooks info.
3. Follow the rest of on-screen steps to finish installing.

Repeat the steps for each version and edition of QuickBooks that you want to install.
