To move QuickBooks payroll data to a new computer, create a secure backup of your company file on the old computer. Install the same QuickBooks Desktop version on the new device and restore the backup file. Then open the Payroll Center to verify employee records, payroll history, tax settings, and payroll preferences. Reconnect or verify your payroll subscription before processing payroll. Keep the original computer and backup until everything works correctly.
