Moving newer version of my quicken file onto my computer
I have a Windows 8.1 computer which has an older version of my Quicken file on it. The file is "attached" to the Quicken installation. In other words, when I open Quicken on the Windows 8.1 computer, it opens the file. Now I want to move a file that is from another computer (a Windows 10 computer) and have this other file replace the file that I have on my Windows 8.1 computer. The motivation for doing this is that the Quicken file on my Windows 10 computer is the most up to date.
I was thinking about putting the backup file from my Windows 10 computer which Quicken automatically creates (in the Quicken/backup folder) into the same directory of my Windows 8.1 computer. This backup should be completely up to date because I have Quicken set to backup every time I open Quicken.

Do they have the same file name? You should probably first rename the file on win 8.1 with another name. The copy the file from the win 10 computer. Then start quicken and go to File-Open and find the new file.
AND, are either Q products the "Starter Edition"?

Good point on the file names. Getting the 2 files mixed up is no good.
