How To Upgrade QuickBooks Desktop?
You have several methods to upgrade QuickBooks desktop, ensuring a fast internet 
connection.
Step 1: Assure Your Company File Is Ready To Update
Ensure your company file is free of data damage before installing the latest Enterprise 
version.
• Sign in to QuickBooks using the Admin account, which must have a password.
• Navigate to the Company menu, choose Users, and then Edit the Admin user.
• Eliminate special characters such as ":" "&" and "/" from the company file name and 
ensure the extension is .qbw.
• Close and reopen QuickBooks.
• From the Window menu, select Close All.
• Access the File menu and choose Utilities.
• Click on Verify Data. 
Step 2: Download The Latest Version Of Enterprise On The Server
• Please ensure that you've downloaded the most recent version of QuickBooks Desktop 
to avoid QuickBooks error 1904. 
• Close all active software, including antivirus programs.
• Then, open the QB Enterprise file you've downloaded.
• Choose ‘Server Install,’ followed by selecting ‘Database Server’ and ‘QuickBooks 
Application.’
• Follow the information shown on the screen until the installation is complete. 
• If you experience an error message while introducing, restart your framework and 
endeavor to establish it once more.
• At that point, get to your company record utilizing the most recent QuickBooks 
adaptation and sign in as the administrator.
• QuickBooks will naturally back up your record some time recently upgrading it, and 
once the upgrade is complete, the company record will open.
Step 3: Configure Network And Server Settings
Here's the procedure for configuring your network to operate with QuickBooks in a multi-
user setting.
• Now go to the ‘Programs’ tab.
• From there choose QuickBooks, followed by QuickBooks Database Manager.
• Next, opt for ‘Scan Folders’ and include the directory where your company file is 
stored. 
• Initiate the scanning process, and you'll find your company file listed at the bottom 
of the window. 
• Finally, close the Database Server Manager.
Step 4: Get the Latest QB Enterprise Version
Before beginning with Enterprise, ensure all your workstations are running the same 
version. If any workstation is using an outdated Enterprise version, you won't be able 
to access the company file once it updates.
• Choose ‘Settings’ by heading to the ‘Start’ menu.
• Next, click on the ‘Control Panel,’ followed by ‘Add or Remove Programs.
• Discover the past form of QuickBooks, at that point press ‘Uninstall/Change’ and take
