Can I move Quicken App along with data at the same time?

I want to move Quicken 6.5.3 to my new iMac. Both old and new iMacs are using OS 12.0.1 or higher. I've seen the answer that involves downloading a more recent Quicken to the person's new Mac and then creating a file of their data on the old computer and moving it and then expanding it etc but I would like to know if you can compress both the app and data at the same time and move. I have done something similar in past years but sadly can not remember how I did it.

    Unless there's a particular reason you're holding your Quicken at version 6.5.3 instead of the current 6.6.2, you can let Quicken do the upgrade on either the old machine or the new machine (or not at all).

    Thank you RickO. I was unaware of macOS Migration Assistant. That might be the easiest way to go for me as other than Quicken my most important information is in emails in my mail program and that needs to be transferred too. Jacobs, I have just gotten behind in updating my Quicken but will do that now. Thanks.
