Here we are on our desktop to look at the objective we have the prior year software here this being the 2022 once downloaded and installed will have the 2023 software. Remember that if you do have a prior version of the software you could still generally move forward with the course. So we're going to then download the installation software which will look like this which we will then actually run in the following presentation. Now remember we talked about three ways that you might be downloading the software you might be purchasing the software in which case you would go to the Intuit website and then go to the QuickBooks here and then scroll all the way down to the desktop options and you might actually have to contact them if you want to get the QuickBooks Pro software. You also might have the prior version as I do here and you might see a prompt when you open the prior version in which case you could try to go through that prompt or you can go of course to the Intuit website. You could log in to your account and then download the 2023 software. So in that case what you would do is download the software just like we'll do here you'll get this little download item and then once you install the software you will then get a 2023 software icon on your desktop and then your data file you just open it with the new software and you will update the data file in a similar way as updating a Word document to a newer version of Word for example similar kind of process or you might have the free version in which case the best way to get there would typically be to go to some browser like your favorite browser like Google type in something like QuickBooks desktop free trial make sure you put in desktop not the online version and then you should find something like the download a trial you can basically verify to some extent that it's a QuickBooks website because it should be an Intuit is the owner of QuickBooks so it's quickbooks.intuit.com and then you can download the free trial I'm going to make this a little bit larger so I'll just do this process here now this one note you've got the download 30 day trial of QuickBooks desktop you have the QuickBooks enterprise that we can download now that's should have everything we need and more we're basically going to be using all the features that go through our QuickBooks Pro QuickBooks Pro Plus so so this should be you know what be fine for what you need but note that as of now I think they only have the 2022 version so you can use the 2022 version but remember that the backup files that we'll be using that will be attached with the course are going to be 2023 for the newest stuff however below you might have access to a prior the prior course material which has the 2022 backups if you want to use the backups they might not be necessary to use the backups but they can be a good tool to like jump forward in the practice problem for example if you have a Mac you can download the Mac version now you can follow along with the course and use the Mac version but note that the Mac version is different in the look and feel of it so you're going to have to search around a bit more on the Mac version to kind of see the same kind of kind of icons so meaning the forms will in essence be the same but the look and feel of it will be a little bit different so then you go ahead and pick up the trial version so it's going to be downloading it down here so there it is you're going to wait for it to download now note that i'm on google chrome so it has this little window down here where it downloads if you have firefox or something it might have an arrow up top if you're in uh microsoft edge or something like that then you might have another thing up top a bar a little yellow bar or something like that and once it's done i like to drag it on over you could show all the downloads and kind of find it there but i'm going to just drag it on over to the desktop and there we have it so there's this one so there we have it now i'm actually going to be installing next time we'll do the actual installation we're just going to basically run this i'm going to use the 2023 which is the latest version that i have for the installation this is the free version basically that i just downloaded just to show that process if you want to try to use the free version and again once we run it we should get another icon here which will be basically looking like this but mine will be for quickbooks desktop 2023 and then we'll actually open up the data files we can create new data files like for example multiple word documents with the quickbooks software also remember that if you're purchasing the software you want to make sure that you have the id because the product id and uh the user id information because at some point you'll have to register the software so you can't look that up in your account on into it but it's kind of nice when you're purchasing the software just to make sure that you take a note of those numbers because you will need them at some point in the registration process as you enter the software we'll see that process and when you will need them when we run the software next time actually installing the software onto the computer
