My iMac is old and updated as far as it was able to be update. My Quicken is version 2007 which is no longer supported. I was advised to sign out, which I did and cannot sign back in. I need to convert my Mac Quicken data file to Windows 11 without using Mac Quicken. Can someone help?

    Do you have any friends who own more modern Macs that you could use to run Quicken Mac long enough to update your file to a more recent version that could then be converted to Quicken Windows?

    If you don't have a working copy of 2007 on a working Mac, then you won't be able to attempt converting anything.

    That said, even if you did and could, I would still have suggested starting from scratch with Quicken Windows on your Win 11 machine: Back when 2007 was new (and running on equally new Macs & PCs of that era), the Mac—>PC Quicken conversions were always problematic and had a low success rate. Date issues and lost transx were the big offenders from what I remember.

    From my research so far, both of these community feedbacks are right on the money. I've got notes out to 2 other networks looking for someone who might have a Mac Quicken. Many thanks for the prompt reply.
