What is upgrading QuickBooks from an older version to a new version is all about?
It means that your QuickBooks company file can be upgraded only by the admin user; however, it should not be done over a network.
Upgrading QuickBooks from an older version to a newer one also states that once the company file has been converted into the newer version, it will not be possible to open it in the older one.
Why do you need to upgrade QuickBooks from an older version to a new version?
In the newer version of QuickBooks, you get an enhanced version and features and bug fixes in comparison to the previous version.
In other cases, QuickBooks users may need to upgrade the software since the business has grown exponentially, and the older version can no longer sustain the volumes of data that are processed in the software.

When you open QuickBooks in its newer version, you are asked to upgrade the company file. Here is how you do it:
Step 1: Ensure that all the users have logged out of the company file.
Step 2: Open your specific new version of QuickBooks Desktop.
