Shifting from QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise 13 to QuickBooks Online is a significant change, especially with how different the interface looks. Because you're using an older version, you will want to start by creating a full backup copy of your company file. Once backed up, open and update that backup using a supported trial version of QuickBooks Desktop so your database meets the conversion requirements.

 

You can then follow the complete step-by-step guide in this article to meet other requirements and the migration process: Move your QuickBooks Desktop company file to QuickBooks Online. While this article is for the US region, the same in-product steps apply globally.

 

You can also migrate manually by exporting lists from Desktop to Excel and importing them into Online. See the guide for available lists: Export lists from the old company file into a new data file.

 

Since the interface with the online version is new and different, you can explore our QuickBooks Online video tutorials and webinars under the Training dropdown. These resources provide all the guidance you need to navigate your new plan.
