While, yes, it is possible to have more than one version (year) of Quicken installed, it is not easy and can cause issues.
If you have access to a second computer that does not have Q, that would be the easiest. If you don't, just make sure that you have the installation file for your Quicken 2016 someplace and download the latest patch release for 2016 here:

You can get the QW2013 from the link in my prior post.

"I converted the file as prompted but the file that opens is empty".
When Quicken converts a data file, it creates a new folder to hold the original file. That new folder contains the year of the version that created the file that got converted.
So, for example, if your original file was created by Q2008 and resided in the folder QDATA when you converted it: after the conversion, you would find a new folder in QDATA named Q08Files. In that folder, would be the Q2008 file as it was before being converted.
