Data transfer

louie

I have a very old version of Quicken - Quicken 2006. I just purchased Quicken Manage you money & save Deluxe. I use Windows 10. Is there a way to transfer the data from my old version to this new one?

Yes.  Follow the instructions in this Quicken Article:

@splasher  is that the right link?

If your Quicken was before 2010 you should have several files making up the data.  The main data file ends in .QDF.  All Quicken versions prior to QW2010 store your data in a series of files all sharing the same filename but with different extensions like  - .QDF .IDX, .QEL, .QPH  and all 4 of those files were rolled into a single-file .QDF starting in 2010.

In truth Quicken Subscription will have no problem reading the Quicken 2006 data file (actually the set of files like @volvogirl states), and convert them.  All you have to do is open the .QDF file in Quicken Subscription and it will do the conversion.  You don't have to use the intermediate Quicken 2013 version, but you can if like.
