How do I migrate from QWin 2016 to QMac (edit)

MichaelWB

I have Quicken Deluxe 2016 for Windows. I'm switching computers to a MAC. What do I need to do? I've been trying for a couple of weeks now. My main concern is being able to transfer my data to the new computer. Is this possible, since I'm going from Windows to MAC? My account produces an error message "needs to be migrated" which only goes to a blank screen, so I started a new account with a different email. I thought about starting a new Quicken subscription on my MAC, but I don't want to leave all my data behind. Would like to receive instructions, but there is no way to contact support. Surely this must have been done before.

One other thing, QWin 2016 is pretty old. I don't know if current QMac will import that file or if you may need to upgrade the file on the Windows side to a more current version first.

I successfully imported some QWin 2013 files last year, so I would expect 2016 files to work also.

I suggest you visit Quicken's support pages for converting from Windows to Mac. Converting from Quicken Windows 2016 (or anything 2011 or greater) is supported. This page shows the steps...

... but I'd note that one part of it is out of date: it shows downloading a Windows converter utility program, but that has been replaced by uploading your data to a cloud converter.

Here is another page which walks through the conversion process:
