Quicken for Mac - functionally the same as Quicken for Windows?

jonmaurer52

I've been using Quicken since at least 1991 - the earliest transaction I see in my data file from a quick look at my [hidden - no longer active] accounts. Im currently using Quicken deluxe subscription (R42.8) under Windows 10 running in a VM under Parallels on my MacBook Pro (Intel). I am about to move to a new M1-based MacBook Pro and am thinking it's time to move to Quicken for Mac native but before I do that, I want to make sure that I don't lose any functionality or, and especially, any data.

So.....I can see the instructions to move a windows-based datafile to the Mac native but will I lose any Quicken features/functionality?

For additional information, I should point out that because I currently live in the UK (but have banking, pension, and investment accounts in both the US and the UK that I track using Quicken), I can't realize all the features and functions that are available for all the accounts anyway but I want to make sure I don't lose anything if I move to Quicken for Mac native.

I assume I can download the Mac version from my Quicken account downloads without my Quicken for Windows subscription needing to change?

Thanks!

Hello @jonmaurer52,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community with your question.

You can compare feature differences through our Product Selector page by scrolling down and seeing the checkmarks next to each feature. Note that any checkmarks with an asterisk (*) next to them mean that these features are only available in Quicken for Windows.

In regard to downloading the Mac version; you are correct. You will not need a new subscription and can download and install Quicken for Mac with your current subscription.

Last, I'd also like to add that since you will be new to using Quicken for Mac, you will have the option for a one-on-one tour with our Quicken 1-2-3 team. This team has been specifically trained and put together to assist new users in getting familiarized with the program and learning how to utilize it to fit your needs, as well as answer any questions and/or address any concerns you may have.

If this is something that would interest you, then please let me know and I will be happy to provide you with the phone number via a private message.

I hope this helps!
