Thank you for reaching the Community, clarkecd.

Yes, you can install QuickBooks Desktop 2010 on Windows 10 as long as you still have the product details and the installer. After that, you may restore a copy of your current company file from there.

Just to give you a heads up, we can't promise a trouble-free experience since this QuickBooks version is no longer supported.

Once you installed it on your laptop, you can now restore your company file.

Like this:

From the File menu, select Open or Restore Company.
Choose Restore a backup copy.
Click Next.
Locate the copy of your company file, and then click Open.
When ready, click Save.

You can also check this article to fix company file issues using the QuickBooks Tool hub under Step 2: Run Quick Fix my File: Fix company file and network issues with QuickBooks File Doctor.

I also recommend upgrading your QuickBooks to a newer version. You can check this link for more information: Upgrade QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus, Premier Plus, or Enterprise.

Please don't hesitate to let me know if you still have other questions. I'll be happy to help. Enjoy your day.

I just bought a new computer and had my old one cloned to it. I tried to open QuickBooks Pro 2010 and can't. I have the original disc and license #. I contacted the chat line today and they say I am out of luck. I am 76 years old and don't want to change or try to learn new stuff. I have never used any of the extras such as payroll extra. I started using Quick books, then went to QuickBooks pro 2000 the upgraded to 2010. All my information is now lost unless I can open this disc. Please help me. Thanks
