I would highly recommend using a third-party app to conduct the transfer. In my experience, doing it manually can be cumbersome and not always fully accurate. You can find authorized third-party apps in the QB App Store at https://quickbooks.intuit.com/app/apps/home/. I have personally used exportmybooks.com before and was pleased with the results https://quickbooks.intuit.com/app/apps/appdetails/exportmybooks/en-us?queryID=3e3041d10aa3f60af9442e0e0dfabb28 Yes, it's an added cost but one that's well worth it in my opinion.
