How Do I Change the Location of the Data Quicken File?My

I installed Quicken on a new computer. The Data File that I had backed up was restored to my One Drive rather than to my computer. How can I change the location to my D drive (data drive) on my computer?

You can use Windows File Explorer to move the data file to the desired location. After it's moved, double click the data file to open Quicken and have it remember the new location.

Hi @ackvil42 ,

When you just installed Quicken on a New Computer, and opted to restore your Manually Backup Data File, it often defaults to where the Backed up Data File is located at.

Especially when you don't have a Data File opened in Quicken.

I caught it, before it happened to me. I know what you are talking about.

I'm a perfectionist. Far easier to start over than take shortcuts.
