Running Mac and Windows versions simultaneously.

I am running both and one day will end my windows version in favor of the Mac version. I try not to up date both at the same time. If anyone else is doing this, can you give me advice on what I can do and what not to do?

Your Quicken Mac and Quicken Windows data files are incompatible with each other and are completely separate. Whether you run them simultaneously doesn't matter; they aren't connected. The thing you should be wary of is using the cloud-based Quicken mobile app or web interface to update both your Mac and Windows data files.Quicken Mac Subscription • Quicken user since 19935 -

I run both QWin and QMac simultaneously and have been since QMac2015 first came out. Also ran QWin and Quicken Essentials before the QMac was released.
I have not experienced any issues running them side-by-side. I find it very convenient to flip back and forth between screens to compare registers, reports, etc., and to track down any discrepancies.
As an aside, I do not use the mobile or web apps nor do I use Quickens' Biilpay services.
