Quicken Premier 2020 - moving to new PC

Question

I have this running on a Windows 7 PC and am getting ready to buy a Dell Window 10 all-in-one PC.  How do I go about moving the actual program to the new PC and how do I move the current data file to the new PC (which is probably huge as I haven’t been diligent about breaking it down periodically.

Probably a question to answer first -  can I take my existing data file and make it into smaller data files by calendar year and then move only my current year to the new PC and back up the older data files?

You don't MOVE the program, you log into Quicken.com MyAccount and download the installer, then execute the installation program you downloaded.Make a backup of your Quicken data file to a thumbdrive and tell the new installation that you have a backup.

To install Quicken on the new computer, I suggest you download and open: https://download.quicken.com/windows/Quicken.exe

Don't forget to copy the data file from the old machine to a folder on an internal drive on the new machine.
