Buy Quicken Starter Edition 2010 [DOWNLOAD]

For those of you die hards, still hanging onto the 2000 version, I have written this review for you. I have used the old Quicken 2000 for 10 years. I have used that same version from Windows 98, to Millenium, to XP. The old 2000 version does not work with Windows 7. The new Quicken 2010 version DOES!

I use Quicken to manage my check book, savings, and print checks. I do not interface it with any of the online bank services, mortgage, loan or investment information. If you are planning on using Quicken for those purposes, you may want to look into the Deluxe version, and read the user reviews first.

Here is what I did:

First, I copied the old version of Quicken 2000, to my new Windows 7 computer, in the C:\Quicken folder.

Second, I purchased the download version of Quicken 2010. On high speed, it took about 10 minutes to download.

Third, I ran the Setup file. Quicken found the old data from 2000, and imported it into 2010.

Fourth, I immediately made a backup.

Finally, I did a printer setup, and did a test to make sure I could print checks.

That was it. About a 1/2 hour invested into the process. The layout is a bit simpler to navigate than the 2000 version.

The only glitch I found was that you can only import the old data once, as far as I could tell. Make sure you make a backup right away, after importing the old data.

This version is a glorified checkbook... perfect for what I need.Get more detail about Quicken Starter Edition 2010 [DOWNLOAD].
