My laptop recently crashed. I will replace it with a new Windows laptop. How do get the Quicken icon on my new laptop?

You are actually asking two questions: How to get Quicken application AND how to recover Quicken data file.Sign in to My Account on quicken.com to download the installation app. The second part is dependent on if you created backups external to your old laptop (including Dropbox). If so, you only need to copy the data file to the new laptop, then install Quicken. If not, you will either need to try and recover the data file or backup from the old laptop. If no file is available, your only recourse is to start a new data file.

Thank you, again for your response. It is much appreciated.
My local laptop repair guy notified me that the data on my old hard-drive is intact. It was the motherboard that crashed.
It looks like I'll be able to retrieve all saved Quicken data.
It's great to know that the Quicken Community is available for fast responses to
questions. I'll really on you in the future0 -
Let this be a learning event, backups are your friend, make lots of them. Buy two or three thumbdrives and rotate between them making backups, that way you will have multiple backups on different devices to fall back on if needed.
