Can you transfer Quicken from Mac to Windows or is it incompatible?

MAJPS

Trying to transfer from my desktop (Mac) to my laptop (windows) is that possible or do I need to buy a new subscription?

When did you buy QMac?  Because recent (since "Subscription") purchases include both QMac & QWin.  So you wouldn't need another purchase.

HOWEVER, the data files are NOT compatible.

Use the search bar at the top of the home page of this forum to look for "Conversion" to see MANY earlier discussions on this topic.

If you have only banking accounts -- checking, cash, credit cards -- conversion is possible; if you have investment accounts, they cannot be converted. And reports, budgets and attachments don't transfer.

Hi @MAJPS as suggested above, you can go from Mac to Windows without repurchasing Quicken however there are conversion steps. Please see this FAQ thanks! https://www.quicken.com/support/converting-your-data-quicken-mac

@MAJPS  According to your profile, you're running Mac 2017.  Is that accurate?  IF so, you would need to purchase QWin ... because your QMac 2017 purchase doesn't include QWin in the disk/download.
