Quicken 2015 [for Windows using a VM] on MAC M1

leonard123

Hello,
Has anybody been able to run an old version of Quicken (I have Quicken 2015 Rental Property Manager) in a Mac M1 (with Parallels or VMWare for example)?
I have a MAC Intel based and it works fine, I am about to move to a MAC M1.

If Windows doesn't know the difference, Quicken isn't going to either.
Here is a thread on it:

Thanks, I did see this thread but it does not answer my question. Nobody says in that thread that they could or could not run it.

Look at the link in the last comment in that thread, which takes you to the Parallels forum:

P.S.  Looking at the discussion on the Parallels forum the BIG question is whether it will be able to support Windows 11 or not.  Given the extra requirements it has over Windows 10 that might run into problems.

Again the real question isn't if Quicken can run on it, but whether the version of Windows you choose can.

Thanks again Chris. I did read the entire thread in Parallels forum. But nobody says if they could or could not run Quicken 2015 (or any old version) in Parallels in a MAC M1. They only talk about the new versions (subscription version).
Another question may be then if Quicken 2015 can run in Windows 10?

Oh, I see that what you were looking for.  Any version of Quicken from 2004 onward will run on Windows 10/11.

P.S. Make sure that you install that latest Quicken 2015 patch so that you are logging in with the Quicken Id instead of the Intuit Id which is no longer available:

Thanks Chris, hope somebody will read this and confirm if they were able to run it with a M1 Mac or superior.
