Hello @JoshA
Thank you for taking the time to visit the Community to ask your question, although I apologize for the confusion.
To answer your question, yes you can upgrade from Mac to Windows, to learn more please see the steps and information available here.
There is no Home and Bussiness version for the Mac platform at this time, you will see the version say Home and Bussiness if you have purchased the Home and Bussiness version for Windows.
I use the Home & Business version on Windows so my Mac version also reflects what you are seeing.
When purchasing subscription members receive the Windows and Mac software however the Mac version only offers up to Premier.
I hope this helps!

And to answer your question directly. You should be able to convert your data file, but for sure you will not have any business features. And I have not seen anyone report on exactly what happens to the business accounts.
And as @J_Mike you should be aware of the fact that this is really going to be "one direction only" conversion, because you will not be able to convert that data file back to a Windows data file and have it be "complete". For sure the investment accounts will not transfer back. As for the business accounts, I have no idea because no one has posted what happens to them that I have seen.Signature:

There is no Quicken Home & Business 2020 for Mac. The versions for Mac are Starter, Deluxe and Premier.
The conversion from Mac to Win works only for non-investment accounts, Investment accounts can not be converted,

I guess I'm confused, because when I pull up my Quicken version I get Home & Business 2020 (see screenshot attached). I can export from my mac as .Qmtf, .Qxf or convert to .CSV File. On my PC it will only import .Qdf, .Qdb, .Qdt or .Qdf-Backup files...-1

You have a "Home and Business" subscription. That is what it is showing.
You can think of the different levels of the subscription as unlocking different levels of features in Quicken, but only for the features that "Quicken program" has.
So you can consider the Windows version to have 4 levels. Starter, Deluxe, Premier, and Home & Business & Rental Property. And each level includes all of the features of the ones below it.
But Quicken Mac only has Starter, Deluxe, Premier. So even though you have "level 4" there are only 3 levels to unlock.
What's more even though there is an effort to try to make the Mac version have feature parity with the Windows version that isn't currently the case at all.
Quicken Mac Deluxe is getting pretty close to Quicken Windows Deluxe these days, but is still lacking several basic features. I'm not sure how close the Starter editions are, but I think they might be very close. For the Premier edition, well calling the Mac version Premier is really a misnomer. About the only thing it has is that it includes the "free" Quicken Bill Manager payments per month. It doesn't have any of the other Quicken Windows Premier features.Signature:
