The Account Type of an existing account register cannot be changed in Quicken for Windows.
If your accounts are connected to the bank for transaction downloading try deactivating them. If that does not work you may have to create new account registers as offline (not connected to the bank) mortgage accounts as of the next payment due, with correct number of remaining payments, balance, etc. Once created, edit the new register's Opening Balance transaction and make it a transfer from the old register, to set the old register's balance to $0.00 Maintain these new accounts as offline accounts for the duration of the loan.
