Installing and Updating (Windows)
Want to downgrade from Premier to Deluxe
smarty2021
I have Quicken Windows 2017 PREMIER. I want to upgrade to the newest Quicken version but downgrade to DELUXE. I don't use any of the automatic download features for banking or investment accounts. I enter everything manually. As far as I can tell, my current Premier file should work fine in Deluxe. I just want to make sure that my investment accounts will still be editable and I can do manual entries like I do now. Will this work for sure? Are there any other gottchas downgrading from Premier to Deluxe that I should know about? Thx.

Since you are currently using 2017, you aren't using any of the extra features that would have a fee in Deluxe (bill Pay and Check Pay), so downgrading to Deluxe will not cause any issues. There are some of the extra investment reports and what-if features that are not in Deluxe, but all of the basics, including investment accounts will work.
You need to be aware if you let the subscription expire, there is a loss of some screenspace to some nagging to renew. See this thread:

Here is a screenshot of an expired subscription:
NOTE: The Quicken window is 1/4 normal size, so the lost screen space is out of proportion but it was done to make the image viewable, but it shows you what will be there.

I would advise against upgrading to the Subscription since given your use case I don't see anything it will really provide you over what you already have in Quicken 2017.

Thanks to both of you for your quick response. Never expected an answer so quickly! I'll think more about the choice to upgrade.
