Hi Chancey: The only advice I can give you is that my old PC was dying, and I waited until I got my new one before downloading the updated Quicken. I was afraid if I loaded it to my old PC, it would totally crash. So that's what I would advise, but I'm definitely not an expert.

I haven't loaded it on a unit with Win XP. However, I just looked at the box my disk came in. It says it will run on Win XP. The box also has a 60-day money back "satisfied" guarantee. We both need to update our Quicken software. Happy Holidays.

Why would you do this? I have a PC and a laptop with Windows XP. It has been a great OS, but as you know Microsoft discontinued all tech support for windows XP owners on April 2014. That poses a problem for us in not having a system to the latest updates. What is also very negative you keep receiving messages from MS Windows Essentials: Your system is not safe ..blah blah. It is very bothersome. I guess they want you to jump to Windows 8. Not me! I think Windows 7 Professional is a great OS to work with.

Hi Kalen I would say maybe 2009? You can always do the updates or upgrade the software.

That may not be possible without loosing the data input that you have done between versions. In Windows we can go to File&gt;Properties&gt;Previous Versions. Or, if you could save your current Quicken data file in a safe place (out of reach of an installation effort), you might be able to install the 2012 over the 2014.

ask Google - they are quite good with info and videos - I'd like to know also - I'm finding Quicken for Mac rather complicated.

Yes. I converted to Quicken deluxe 2011 when MM was abandoned. Man I wish MM.....Anyway, this crappy program really is the next best thing out there and converts all your data without a hitch. I had 3 years worth of financial info that converted fine. The problem with this is the inconsistent crashes, inconsistent download errors from your bank (some days it works, others it doesn't) and other failures.

Windows XP is no longer supported by Microsoft so you will be experiencing problems in time. Most people are upgrading to Windows 7 or Windows 8+

You will have to buy a different Operating System now. Windows won't give you the necessary updates for your computer and you won't be able to run any software. Support for XP ended in April 2014

Yes, but I am curious why you are interested in an older version of the program? DO NOT GET QUICKEN 2014 as its functionality is less than earlier versions. 12 may actually have been my fav. Attaching documents to my transactions is my issue. In earlier versions I could attach Checks or Invoices or Other. When I wanted to view an attachment I chose one of the 3 categories and picked my image. In 2014 there no longer seperate categories. You have to selec, then open, each individual image to find the one you need.

Unfortunately, you'll have to buy both because Intuit won't support QB 2011 by this May & your payroll service expires this summer. I hate the way Intuit makes money like that - they set up in a way that you'll have to buy their software every several years.

I am currently running the LC version of quicken on my Mac. The Mac version is lacking features. The way you do this is to install parallels desktop which is a program that allows you to install and run windows simultaneously with Mac OS. I am running windows 7. After installing windows you can install quicken and use your backed up file from windows on your Mac.

I don't know. You can call Quicken and they can answer your question. I called them to ask questions before I bought it myself.

Yes, Carlos they were right this computer is very ancient,obsolete and the XP operating system is outdated too and will no longer receive Microsoft Security security support or updates starting April-8,2014. Even though mines works fairly well and i gave a good review about this computer some time ago i will be updating to the windows 7 so out goes this computer.

Updating from Quicken 2006 to Quicken Premier 2013 was pretty painless for me. I did have to rename a couple of my accounts but that was about it.

Solaris, I think it is worth every penny if keeping track of your income/expenses--and hopefully investments is important to you. I have been using Quicken since the 90's--almost 20 years. The importance of ordering Q 2011 is that after 3 or so years, Intuit no longer supports its software and you must upgrade, so start off with the latest.

I am sorry. This is the first time I've purchased Quicken, so I don't know if it is compatible with earlier versions.
