I have used Quicken for 15 years and would like fresh start. Can I download 2020 with the old version still on my computer or should I put the old data on a flash drive and wipe the computer clean? Thanks!

    Let it do the import ... and then simply do FILE, New Quicken file.  You'll end up with a nearly blank Q data file, with only Q's pre-defined categories created ... but no YOU data.

    Hi @""Jerry Quiring" ,

    Simple. Move your old data to a Flash Drive or Thumb Drive.

    Next, follow this procedure to install Quicken 2020, that is Quicken Subscription: https://community.quicken.com/discussion/7844658/installing-reinstalling-windows-quicken-subscription-editions

    Reason: you can't have two different Quicken programs in the same operating system.

    Sounds like two very different opinions on this subject.
