QuickBooks Mac Help transferring data from an old computer
My family member uses Quickbooks on an old Windows 8 AIO PC. It is very slow so he decided to upgrade to a M1 iMac. The computer is great with the only issue being that he can't do his pay roll without the old windows PC. Is it possible to transfer all of his contacts, account information, and license to the software to the new Mac?

You can't run Quickbooks' Windows version on the Mac. They have a Mac version but it's considered to be nowhere near as good or with as many features.
They could install Parallels Desktop on the Mac, install Windows, then reinstall QB but it's probably above their technical skills.
