Quicken Classic for Windows User ---> Moving to Quicken Simplifi

Jim Gunnerson

Well, sort of. I'm still running Quicken Classic for the time being on my Windows laptop, in parallel. I've depended on Quicken for Windows for about 30 years now, to keep track of all my financial transactions. However, I have recently switched to Linux Mint OS on an older HP desktop computer that Microsoft said couldn't run Windows 11. A golden opportunity to begin using Quicken Simplifi as a web application.

Overall, the experience has been good. I like the user interface, and I like that my financial data is stored securely in the cloud, accessible from any of my devices using a browser or mobile app. So, for the time being, I will continue updating both Quicken versions in parallel, and we'll see how it goes. 😊

Wow. I hadn't thought about Linux Mint for ages. Welcome to the community Jim!

I too use QS and QC in parallel although I keep thinking I will sooner or later drop Classic. But it has become sort of a hobby of mine to do this, so maybe not. 😀

I converted from Quicken some time ago. Even though my subscription expired long ago, I am still able to use Quicken to access my old data files (although I get a warning that it is out of date every time). But I don't know how long that will continue to be the case.

As a failsafe, I downloaded all my Quicken transactions into a CSV file, then converted that to an Excel file. I find that to be a quick and easy way to search through old transactions when I need to (which happens a couple of times a year at most).
