Migrating from QB to something else is a real pain. Easy to get started

No fooling. And add to that the loss of intellectual property
that they have learned over the years with QB ("I CAN'T LEAN
ANYTHING NEW !!!!).
One option: use QB Online. I never tried it.
Every bookkeeper I work for hates it.
Another option: run it in a Windows VM. I run it in a Windows 11 VMware VM.
That would work, but it would add a layer of complication to
low skill uses. And you would still have Windows-11 to cope
with. It is spyware by design.
QB now forces you to pay a yearly subscription or lose access to any
data. It won't open after the subscription expires (or at least that's
what I saw). Forget that. I went back to QB 2019, since it's the last
version not requiring a yearly subscription.
I warn my customers about this. They really do not care for
it. And they don't blink an eye about paying M$ every years
for Office 365. Go figure.

Oh an try to get them to use Libre Office. In 31 years of
doing this, I can only get new users to office suites
to use it. In my technical opinion, Libre Office is
slightly easier to user than M$ Office. SO back to
the "I CAN'T LEARN ANYTHING NEW!!!" problem.
