How to convert data files from old version of Quicken

Anu

Hello:

I have used an old version of Quicken for Windows for years and it has worked for my needs. My reluctance to subscribing to the new version of Quicken is that I don't know if the latest version can read an old data file. I read that I need to use Quicken 2013 to convert my old data file first before it can be read by newer versions of Quicken. My question is: where may I get Quicken 2013 on this website for me to download?

Thanks a lot.

Are you using Windows or Mac?

If your Quicken was before 2010 you should have several files making up the data.  The main data file ends in .QDF.  All Quicken versions prior to QW2010 store your data in a series of files all sharing the same filename but with different extensions like  - .QDF .IDX, .QEL, .QPH  and all 4 of those files were rolled into a single-file .QDF starting in 2010.
