Converting Quicken Mac Starter 2019 to Quicken windows
Best Answer

Actually, it appears that after some additional testing by an SU that the conversion from QMac to QWin may not be as broken as it was before.
Though the categorization of transactions may appear scrambled when first opening a converted data file in QWin, closing and reopening seems to correct the problem. That said, there are other caveats, such as, linked transfer transactions lose their links, and other details.
Given you are on a subscription, you have access to both the QMac and QWin version. So download the QWin version and give it a try and see if it meets your needs.Have Questions? Help Guide for Quicken for Mac

No, the Quicken Mac to Quicken Windows is broken and no one knows when it might be fixed. Also, only Quicken Windows can be converted to QuickBooks.Quicken Subscription HBRP - Windows 100

The Mac to Windows conversion also doesn't do investment transactions -- at all -- but since Quicken Starter doesn't handle investments, this isn't an obstacle for @kasie. I'm just mentioning it here for others who may be reading this thread.Quicken Mac Subscription • Quicken user since 19930

Does Mac Starter have the QXF (transfer file) export feature?
I have a vague recollection that it does not - which would prevent the ability to do the QMac/QWin transfer.QWin & QMac (Deluxe) Subscription

Hi @jacobs
I'm happy to help and can confirm that Quicken for Mac Starter Edition does have the QXF transfer file Export and Import feature.
I hope this information helps, but please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
Thanks!
