Update vs Upgrade QuickBooks 2022

Every year, Intuit offers one upgrade for their flagship accounting software for desktop and Mac. This upgrade comes with significant enhancements and feature and software performance.

Update, on the other hand, refers to installing the latest patches released for QuickBooks. Patches generally address performance issues and resolve specific errors identified previously.

What to do before Upgrading to QuickBooks Desktop 2022?

Before beginning the upgrade process, you should create a backup of your company file and store it on a separate system.

Although your file isn’t deleted or altered during the upgrade process, it’s better to save a backup in case anything goes wrong.

Nonetheless, QuickBooks will ask you about creating a backup of your company file before you try to import it into the upgraded version. We’ll explain the reason for the same after you’ve created a backup and upgraded the software.

Create a Backup of QuickBooks Company File

A backup file contains the bare minimum data that is in the company file. As the size of a backup file is significantly less than that of the company file, it becomes a great option for restoring data if anything goes wrong with the original company file.

Restoring the data means that the backup file will be converted into a company file with the data available till the date on which the backup was created.

Here are the steps to create a backup file in QuickBooks:

• Log into QuickBooks with an admin account.
• Select File from the top menu, then click on Switch to Single-User Mode. If you’re already in the single user mode, then move onto the next step.
• Go back to the File menu, and Click on Backup Company, then on Create Local Backup.
• Click on Local Backup, then Next.
• Select the location for storing the backup file by clicking on Browse. Once you’ve made the selection, click on Open.
• Choose the total number of backups to keep in the current folder. QuickBooks will automatically delete the oldest backup file that falls about of the predefined number.
• QuickBooks will scan the company file to ensure that you can smoothly create a backup file from the currently open company file.
• Click on Ok, and choose Save it now if you’re ready to create a backup file. You can review your preferences before you click on this button.
• Click on Next.

The backup process will start immediately. While QuickBooks creates the backup file, you can leave your system to ensure that system resources are free for use by QuickBooks. If the current requirement exceeds the system resources, then the process will fail and you’ll get an error.

You can also use online servers and services to store your backup file. People often do so to ensure that they have a secure copy of the company file stored on a separate server.

We’ve given the steps to restore the backup file in the FAQ section at the end of this post.

Upgrade to QuickBooks 2022 Version

Let’s get into the upgrade process itself. We’ll first upgrade the accounting software, then the company files.

If you Purchased a One-time Version

Here are the steps to upgrade QuickBooks 2022 version:

• From the Help menu, Choose Upgrade QuickBooks.
• Click on one of the available versions, and select Upgrade Now.

• Click on Let’s go, if you’re ready to upgrade your accounting software.

QuickBooks will immediately start to download the new version for you. Then, it’ll install and activate the new version of your accounting software. After that, it’ll upgrade your company file for compatibility with the upgraded software.

If you Purchased a Subscription for QuickBooks

Users who have an active subscription of QuickBooks desktop will automatically be notified to upgrade the software once the new version is available.

While standard users can install QuickBooks only for themselves, and admin user can install it for everyone.

So understand this concept properly before you create your company file.
• Vendors: a vendor list in QuickBooks contains the information of all the vendors from whom you make purchases. You can send vendors purchase lists and get goods and raw materials delivered. You can make the payment directly through QuickBooks, or even record checks that you used for paying the vendor.
• Customers: a customer list in QuickBooks contains the data of all the unique customers who purchased products or services from your business. Having this data right inside QuickBooks makes it easier to create invoices and send them to the customer.
• Invoice: QuickBooks always makes invoicing quite easy. You can use the customer data or create a new customer and fill in the purchase details to create an invoice. Then, you can send the invoice via email to the customer. You can include a payment link in the invoice so that the customer can go to the link and make the payment. When the payment is made, you’ll receive the confirmation.
• Item and services list: this list contains information about each item and service that your company sells. Using this list, you can easily enter data into various forms such as invoices and bills. Amount associated with each item appears automatically on the invoice. You can enter a discount percentage if you’re selling the item at a discounted price.
