Is it possible to install Q2001 on Windows 10 or 11? It didn't work for me.

    HIghly UNLIKELY (probably impossible) that a Q product that's so old can be installed on a current operating system.

    In fact, even your Q2001 data file would need to jump thru a few hoops to be brought up to usability on current versions of Q.

    SO, assuming that you've already got a computer running Win 10 or 11, you'll need to buy a recent version of Q, install it and then search this forum for upgrading old Q data files.

    I suspect that the installer is a 16-bit program. 16–bit programs can only run on 16-bit or 32-bit operating systems, and even though it is possible, but not likely, to get Windows 10 in 32-bits it isn’t possible to get 32-bit Windows 11.

    You should install this free version of Quicken 2004 instead:

    You should at least try to convert to the 2013 version since you don’t use any online services or download transactions now.  Then it should run on newer versions of Windows.  Starting in 2014 they instituted an ID password to get into your own data. I’m staying on 2013.

    2013 should run on Newer Windows.  I’m running 2013 on Windows 11.  You can download 2013 Deluxe for free using this how to convert article.  It’s under Converting from Quicken 2004-2009.  Click on the Blue words....Quicken 2013 for Windows in step 3.

    If your version is 2003 or earlier you will need to first convert to 2004.  Then convert to 2013.  Read that whole article on converting.

    And FYI - 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. 

    I'm staying on Quicken 2013 Premier for Windows.
