How do I access accounts, etc, from Quicken from an old pc?

Question

I had to get a new computer but after installing Quicken Classic on my new computer, none of our transactions (mostly checks and accounts), etc, did not show up when I opened it. How do I get that information into my Quicken app on my new computer. I have a Windows 11 desktop pc. My old pc is a Windows 10.

do you have any Quicken backups from your old computer ?

Quicken makes backups and also can prompt you to make additional manual backups -

In any case you somehow need to find the main Quicken QDF data file from your old computer,

or any of the Quicken backups of the QDF data file -

and then you just copy it over to the new computer - like any data file -

Quicken is just a tool like MS Word and all your "data" is stored in the external file - a QDF file - just like a MS Word DOC file.
