Quicken Home and Business Windows to Quicken Premier Mac

in File Conversion and Backup (Mac)
Hi and thanks in advance!
I am replacing a former remote working employee who has passed away. She used Quicken 2009 Home and Business then I think the 2015 version.
I operate on a Mac and believe that home and Business is not an option for Mac, I downloaded Premium Quicken yearly subscritipion.
When I go to restore from backup the previous backup file is not available to select and import.
Is it possible to convert the file so I can use on my mac?
Many thanks!

    Hi @SaraPowder

    It is possible to make the conversion, but my understanding is that it has its limitations - the biggest one is that it doesn't convert investment accounts (so those would need to be rebuilt manually).  Here's a LINK to more information.

    Let us know if you have any followup questions.

    @Frankx, I believe investments fail if you're converting from Mac ro Windows.

    @SaraPowder  Just to make sure you're trying to start correctly, in Quicken Mac, are you selecting File > New? And then selecting "Start from a Quicken Windows file", and selecting the Windows data file?
