Can I run Q-Win and Q-Mac in parallel for a month or two?

I've used Q-WIN for decades, the past few years on an iMac running Windows. I'd like to go to Q-MAC to get off the Windows platform. Question: can I run both QWIN and QMAC in parallel for a month or two, to see how they perform? e.g., downloading bank transactions into both WIN and MAC? e.g., downloading securities prices into both? Of course, I would only initiate bank transactions (such as instructing my bank to transfer cash between accounts or paying bills) in QMAC!
All of this would be to get comfortable before leaving what I've used for decades. Many thanks for advice. (And if there's an area of Support that provides help and advice for the transition, please let me know!). Thanks,

Yes, but the data files between the 2 are NOT interchangeable.Totally different file formats.So, you'll need to do double data entry during that time.

Thanks. Probably 95% or more of my transactions are downloaded from the bank. So as long as the bank will download to both files, I should be good.
If the bank will only download transactions to one of the two files, then I'd be in serious difficulty! Do you know whether the bank (Chase, in my case) will download to both files?0 -
It will download to both ... and not even know that it's doing so. It's just 2 downloads as far as Q is concerned.

Thanks very much - help is much appreciated. I'll go for it and see how it goes. Hopefully the QMAC will be viable for me going forward.0
