If you do not have the installation files, you'll need to obtain them or a more recent version. If you haven't already, you may want to review:

Note: If you decide to stay with Quicken Deluxe 2013, I suggest you update the installation by downloading and applying the Quicken 2013 R12 Mondo patch:

You should at least try to convert to the 2013 version since you don’t use any online services or download transactions now. Starting in 2014 they instituted an ID password to get into your own data. I’m staying on 2013.
You can download 2013 for free (I think it's the Deluxe version) using this how to convert article. It’s under Converting from Quicken 2004-2009.

FYI - All Quicken versions prior to QW2010 store your data in a series of files all sharing the same filename but with different extensions like - .IDX, .QEL, .QPH & .QDF, and all 4 of those files were rolled into a single-file .QDF in starting in 2010.

Hi
@GeofS
,
What is the operating system of the old computer? Do you still have access to the old computer?
What is the operating system of the New computer?
If you don't have the installation files, you can't transfer Quicken 2007, because it won't run.

Thank you to Sherlock and volvogirl for their suggestions to move to 2013. I will try that as soon as I figure out where to find version 2013 to download.
Regarding the questions from thecreator:
The old computer was running Windows XP; the new one is running Windows 10. The old computer is dead but I do have its hard drive mounted in an external dock and have full access to it.

I have installed v2013 and converted the data, and it seems to be running fine.
Thanks to Sherlock and volvogirl for the guidance.
