I am starting a business with a partner and we are interested in Quicken Home and Business but I only have a MAC. My MAC does have Windows 365 installed on it. Can I use this version of Quicken on my MAC?

    You can run the WIndows version of Quicken on a Mac in emulation. Bootcamp, Parallels Desktop, VMWare Fuision, and Crossover have been reported to work. I have not seen any reports of running Quicken Windows in the Cloud PC offered as part of Windows 365.

    Do you already subscribe to Quicken Mac? If so, your subscription includes the Windows version at no extra change. You can download it from your account at Quicken.com, try to install it in the Cloud PC and report back if it works. If you don't already subscribe to Quicken, there is a 30 day money back guarantee if you want to give it a try.

    I don't know how the Cloud PCs work, but if you can install software with a standard installer like you can on a desktop Win machine, it should, in theory, work just fine. But that's coming from a Mac user, so take with a grain of salt.

    From what little I've read about WIndows 365 you can install apps on it, you're not stuck with just Office. So I would assume Quicken could be installed.
