I am running Quicken 2013 on Windows 10. Is there anyone running Quicken 2013 on Windows 11. Any problems?
Quicken in Australia no longer seems to be developed / supported. What applications have former users moved onto? Was there any ability to migrate your Quicken data?
Thanks. I couldn't see how to download a free trial version so will call Reckon.

Technically what was Quicken Quickbooks back in those days was rebranded Reckon Account Desktop version as part of a messy split up with Quicken.
Even though it is still sold today, it is basically as you said, dead, no longer being developed and support is shocking from Reckon. Plus its a subscription model, so you 'rent' the software.

Most products will import the Quicken/Reckon Accounts data without issues.
You could move to Quickbooks online. Its basically the old company that made Quicken Quickbooks in oz.
Pretty much whatever you do, stay away from Reckon products.
Thanks for your response.
"Most products will import the Quicken/Reckon Accounts data without issues". Can you name some or provide a link to an article or forum? I only use Quicken for personal finances and investments. I don't need payroll or business functions.
Xero is the current darling.
After using MS money for nearly 30 years I have changed over to Moneydance, I ran both programs in tandem for 12 months to ensure I would be OK with Moneydance & it could do what I wanted. There is not really much point in trying to import old data except investment data needed for CGT. I went back & manually entered all my investment data which was a great help in learning how to use Moneydance. I've kept MS money on my PC in case I need to look something up from the past. I've been using Moneydance for about 15 months, I enter all transactions manually which I feel gives me a better feel for my finances instead of importing data from the banks. Moneydance is $110 for a one-time purchase or you could try a free trial for 100 manually entered transactions. I tried numerous other finance programs over the past few years Moneydance covers all bases.
I started using Quicken in 2007. It is now called Reckon ‘Accounts Personal Plus’.

There is a 30 day trial available so you could see if it is the same product you have, albeit with additional features. If it is, you should be able to migrate your data, although you might need to go through a couple of different versions to get to the latest version. The release notes will advise you on the steps needed.
