Up grading from BW2012 to BW2018

SUGGESTED

Time to upgrade to 2018. I was told by Sage to just upload the BW2018. Reading thru online material my data and custom forms must be converted to 2018. After installing will this be an automatic prompt for me to do? 

Another question. BW2012 is installed on a single computer at work. Can I download 2018 onto a laptop so I can take my work home? I know to restore data and system. Can 2012 data and system be restored to 2018 Businessworks..  I kinda a want to make sure it all works on laptop before I install on office computer. 

Thanks

Melanie
