Transferring program/data from old computer to new one

How do I transfer my Quicken 2018 Starter Edition software/data files from my old computer to my new one. My old one has Windows 10 Home on it and the new one has Windows 10 also. I tried to copying the whole Quicken file to a flash drive and then installing it on the new computer but it says I'm missing a mfc100.dll data file which is a Windows system file. I found that file and also tried to transfer to Windows on the new computer but that didn't help.

From your new PC, you need to go to quicken.com , sign in then go to My Account. From there you will be able to download the software installer. You will want to copy your latest data file to a flash drive or cloud service and place into the Documents/Quicken folder before launching the installer. When the installation is complete, Quicken should launch and find your data file for your acceptance.

With Windows programs (except very simple ones), they have to be installed and can not simply be moved from one computer to the next.wjlerch said:Ok thanks, I'll try that. Didn't know I would need the Quicken Installer software.
