Upgrade from Quicken 4?

Hello,

I'm looking for some advice on an upgrade path from Quicken 4 to a more current version.

Yes, I know that the version that I'm using is very old, but the old cliché of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" applies here. The reason for upgrading now is because I'm planning on replacing the current PC.

I know that in some cases, new PCs come with versions of Quicken that are only for "New users", which as I understand it, means that I can't import any prior data. Is that true?

Also, with some software, if you didn't continually "upgrade" over the years, you can't easily upgrade to the latest version, due to data incompatibility. In other words, a Quicken 4 data file may not be able to be converted for current use, whereas, a Quicken 2001 or more recent data file might.

Thanks in advance to those who post a reply to the group.

Peter.

Quicken "New User" versions will not "convert" data from previous versions; I believe you could still "import" data using QIF files ... to the extent you took into account the restrictions placed on QIF file import starting with Q2005.
