Aloha-

i had an older version of quicken, which i had updated using the "free" version of Quicken 2013. i have been using it for over a year, no issue. (Windows 10). my computer died, purchased a new one, (Windows 11). installed Quicken 2013 (same free version). Installed fine, but i cannot open my qdf file, it states that qdf file is from a later version of quicken, then closing the error msg, I get another error message. unknown error in opening file..

I can restore from a back-up (i have at least 5 different backups), no issue, but when asked to open file, it does the same thing (error message). it does it for all of my other backup files.

I did not purchase a newer version..

    Did you download the free 2013 from online again to install it? Or use the install file from the first time? Try updating the program. One of the SuperUsers has posted the update patches for older versions (2000 and newer) of Quicken http://www.quicknperlwiz.com/quicken-patches-us.html

    I'm staying on Quicken 2013 Premier for Windows.

    Also installed same version on other Win10 64 bit desktop, and same issue…all the backups, all the same message…but definitely only used Quicken 2013…
