How to download my quicken to my lap

I'll guide you on how to download Quicken to your laptop, Broncojim.

 

When moving your Quicken data to your laptop, you can either directly convert to QuickBooks Desktop or use the Quicken converter to upgrade your file. If you want to use the converter, use the Quicken Converter to move from the Quicken version that is not a parallel version of QuickBooks. 

 

On the other hand, if you use the Quicken Converter, ensure you don't have another version installed on your laptop. Once done, follow the steps below:

 

  1. Download the version of the converter tool that matches the year version of your QuickBooks Desktop.
  2. Install and move data.
    1. Open the Quicken Converter, then Next.
    2. Select I accept the terms in the license agreement, then Next.
    3. Click Next, then Install.
    4. Choose Launch Quicken Converter, then Finish.
    5. Select I am transferring data from Quicken for Windows, then select Get Started.
    6. Select Open a data file located on this computer, then Select File.
    7. Browse to select your Quicken file (.QDF) file and OK.
    8. Click Convert it!, then select OK.
    9. To save your new Quicken Data File (.QDF) file, select Save, then Exit.

 

To know more, learn how you can move the file using the Conversion Utility. I've added this article for the detailed process: Convert Quicken Data to QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Furthermore, QuickBooks provides you with several reports that you can generate. To make sure it gives the correct data, learn how you can customize them, and add and remove information so the right data shows up in the right place. Read this to learn more: Customize Reports in QuickBooks Desktop.
