Convert QDF to QDFM?

Do you want to be able to use the same data file for BOTH Q/Win & Q/ Mac??? Can't be done.

OR, have you switched from Q/Win to Q/Mac and want to convert your data file?

I do some volunteer work once a year on a Windows machine, in Quicken. For convenience, I do the work on my Mac (which I use all the time), transport it to a PC laptop, and it opens fine there. Since most of my colleagues use Windows, I want them to be trained to work with the Windows laptop after I no longer do this work (in a few years). I was surprised that although I could go from Mac to Windows, it wouldn't go the other way!

If this is not possible, I'll just do my work on the Mac and give them notes about doing it from scratch on the Windows laptop.

Is the Mac new enough that it has an Intel chipset (as opposed to the original Motorola chipset), and thus can run Q/Win?

If you were going to run Q/win on both machines, you'd need to make sure that the 2 iterations of Q/Win were from the same year. They don't necessarily need to be the same version (e.g., Deluxe and Deluxe), but they WOULD need to be the same year.

Unfortunately,the Mac is not that new, so it doesn't have the Intel chipset. Also, from what you say, it might not work anyway, as my Mac Quicken is

What if I exported a QIF from either Win or Mac? Could that then be used by either?

I believe you could do this on a one-time basis: but I do not think it would be feasible as an ongoing approach.

The two Quicken's are significantly different; and the export/import process would be painful, at best.
