Data transfer problem - laptop to new computer (edit)

Norma Vance

I just purchased a Windows 11 computer. I have a lap top running Windows 10. I backup with drop box. When I try to load the Drop Box data the new computer does not see the file as a Quicken file.

I need to use both computers. I use the lap top when we travel in the motor home.

What file are you transferring?

It should be a *.QDF file.

Did you install Quicken on the Windows 11 computer?

just to clarify all the steps - and some comments about trying to use on TWO computers -
Are you using a current version of Quicken ? If not - what version ….. Help —> About Quicken
and your Quicken subscription is not expired ?

You need to -
1 - download and install Quicken on the new computer - using your current Quicken email ID / password
2 - copy the Quicken QDF file from the laptop -to either Dropbox or just a flash drive
3 - copy the QDF file from DropBox or flash drive onto the new computer - the Quicken install should have created a /Quicken/ folder
4 - run Quicken and open the QDF file on the new computer

Running Quicken on TWO computers and trying to keep things the same
is a totally different discussion AFTER you get Quicken running on the new computer
