In case, if user wants to update a QuickBooks company file, then a question will arise in their mind how do I update a company file to the newest version of QuickBooks? If they are not aware with the process, then they can do it with the help of QuickBooks Desktop Support. If you’ve used a previous version of QuickBooks, your company file is set up to work with that version. When you upgrade to QuickBooks 2021, the program has to make some changes to your company file.

So to prevent work disruptions, plan to upgrade all copies of QuickBooks and the company file during downtime. Fortunately, updating a company file is easy: All you have to do is open it in the new version of QuickBooks and follow the onscreen instructions.
Here are the steps:
- In your new version of QuickBooks, choose File→“Open or Restore Company.”
- In the “Open or Restore Company” dialog box, select the “Open a company file” option, and then click next.
- In the “Open a Company” dialog box, double-click the company file you want to update. If you see the User Name and Password box, enter your user name and password.
- In the “Update Company File for New Version” dialog box, turn on the “I understand that my company file will be updated to this new version of QuickBooks” checkbox, and then click Update Now.
- Click OK to create a backup before you upgrade. Follow the steps to create a backup copy of your company file.
