My old Mac is running Quicken 2007

Ty Ford

My new Mac Studio is running Sequoia 15. Will I be able to import my existing files? I DO NOT want Online. I want Offline. I think I want Quicken Classic. Will that have the same features as Quicken 2007?

Thanks,

Ty

Yes, it can. As long as you do not turn on the sync mode, your data will stay local on your computer. Note, however, that QMac does need to be initially authorized online, and every so often after that.

Note that the new version is a subscription. So, if you need to download data into QMac, you will have to pay annually. If you choose to not pay every year, note that you will be presented with a LARGE reminder in QMac that will take up about 20-25% of your screen (depending on the size of your display). The only way to get rid of it is to pay the annual subscription.

Alternatively, you can run QM2007 in a virtual machine, if you are comfortable doing that. It would nee dto have MacOS 10.14 (Mojave) or older as the guest OS. If you are interested, I can direct you to some supporting information on how to do that.

Just to add to the reply above…

Yes and no. 🤣 On a high level, modern Quicken Mac does most of the same things as Quicken 2007. On a detail level, there are lots of differences. It's a new user interface, which isn't too hard to learn but will definitely take some time to get used to using. There are some features in modern Quicken Mac which didn't exist in Quicken 2007, and there are some features in Quicken 2007 which have not (at least yet) been implemented in modern Quicken Mac.

Without scientific evidence, I would say that the vast majority of longtime Quicken Mac users who have switched from the old Quicken 2007 to the modern generation Quicken Mac find it at least good, if not great. I miss a few features which have not made it into current Quicken Mac (and still hold out hope that some of them will be forthcoming in future years), but overall I much prefer the interface and added features, and especially the rock-solid database stability. The modern Quicken Mac is now more than 11 years old, so it's a very mature program that is still be added to with updates roughly every two months.
