Moving File+

US QuickBooks Pro for Windows : Older versions

I am trying to move files from a old laptop to my new one. I have made the back up and saved it to a external drive. When I try to pull it up on the new computer it doesn't see the file. The file is there because I see it on the drive. Advice????

Copy the backup to your hard drive and restore from there. QB doesn't like external drives.

If this answers your question, please click the “thumbs up” or mark this post as "Solved,” or post back with more information.

I tried to save to the hard drive as well and doesn't see the file that way either. The only thing I notice is that the file is a qbb file on the old computer when saved and on the new one it is a tmp file.
