I have entries from 2020 up to 2022. This is September 2023. I do not need 758 entries.

Can someone help me?

My name is Robin Lisa

    You can do a year-end copy but most of us here don't recommend it. It's better to leave all your data and history together in one file and it should not affect performance. Sometime in the future we guarantee you will want to see something and you won't be able to merge them back together. You can run reports for any time period. Just copy your whole file for a backup (which you should be doing regularly anyway) and continue on in your current file. Too many times people ask for help on how to re-merge their data, which can't be done. Also any uncleared checks will then show up in both files. So just continue on. And if you upgrade to a newer version in the future you will have to remember to convert all your old files too.

    Or you can do a File - File Operations - File Copy with dates in the future it will do a better job than year-end-copy. The YEC has to try to work around reconciled vs unreconciled transactions and the Copy doesn't.

    Unreconciled transactions and investments transactions won't be cleared out. Most of the users here recommend you just hide the accounts. Just make frequent backups.

    I'm staying on Quicken 2013 Premier for Windows.

    I had to uninstall the quicken - how do I re-install the product — I already have a subscription to Quicken Deluxe.

    I manually uninstalled it and now I want to re-install it. It is giving me an error notice to manually uninstall then reinstall. What is HBRP?

    Did you click on the link I posted? Why did you manually uninstall Quicken? What is the exact error message?

    need some clarifications….

    You purchased and installed Quicken - and had data from 2020 to present -
    Did you enter or download that data ?
    Most of us don't really get rid of any data, or perform "end of year" archive or splitting of data - it really makes no sense.

    Anyway - Why did you uninstall Quicken ?
    What happened when you tried to re-install it …..
    where did you get the Quicken software you were trying to install ? -
    did you have a retail CD or download it directly from Quicken, or somewhere else ?
