If I purchase Quicken 2014 should I start with a new computer or can I download on my 8 year old Dell OK?

There is a bug in 2014 RPM that causes a memory leak after about 20 minutes of use. It will end up using 300+mb of RAM after a while and slow to a crawl. It should run ok if you close and reopen the software every 15 minutes or so.

I would recommend getting a new computer, get familiar with it first, then install Quicken 2014. The likelihood of a problem with an 8 year old computer is in my opinion very high, and you can use this as the reason to retire your 2006 Dell that has obviously served you well.

You can use it on your old computer. And when you decide to upgrade your computer you can bring the program with you.

I haven't had to use my plan yet, but Dell says that you have lifetime support from them. And since this is my second computer from Dell, I know that they will send software for almost anything that you have on you computer. I hope this helps, if not just give Dell a call. They have excellent customer service.

I what way? I don't have W8, but itworks perfectlywith W7. The interface is not that much of a difference. However, if you are having problems adding an icon to the desktop, you may have to go through Windows Explorer and find the "Quicken" folder in "Program Files (86)" and send a shortcut to your desktop manually. If it installs okay, it should work fine.

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.

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.

I believe the software "upgrade" will. We have the standard software wanted to see if we like it before we spent more money. So far so good (7 months using the program). Might upgrade in 2014.

You Should Be Able To Download On Your New Computer With The Same License. I Think They Have A Customer Svc #. I Didnt Keep This Software I Got A refund

We are successfully using the latest version of Quicken Rental Property Manager with Windows 8. Beware, older versions of the program are still being sold and may, or may not, be compatible--I don't know.

There is a big difference. My recommendation is that you stop by a Best Buy or store that provides both so that you can see. However, if I were to purchase anything in 2014 it would be Windows 8.

The best thing to do once you receive the computer is to call dell customer service by telephone and have them guide you though the upgrade to 8.1. You can configure 8.1 to boast directly to your desk top. It's a great upgrade from windows 8 which sucks.

I upgraded from 2012 and only purchased it because it was on sale for 50% off. Otherwise I would have waited. As for any differences, the only thing I have found so far is the Quicken Cloud and the mobile app.

It works. I bought a surface which runs WINDOWS 8 and I use Quicken with that. I don't know if you are familiar with Surface but it is the size of a tablet. Using Quicken on that computer is horrible. The font was way to small (increasing the font made things worst). Also, I continually had problems with Quicken not being able to connect with my financial institutions, or the information being outdated. I finally got so frustrated that I quit using Quicken all together.

Why not just stick with XP Pro. When I got my Dell, I just asked for it to have Windows XP Pro installed as that's what I had on my old computer and I liked it a lot better than the newer (7&8) systems. The Dell came as requested AND ALSO WITH an XP Pro system install disk so that if I ever had to restore it I could. It pays to ask! I don't care if XP and XP pro aren't going to be supported. IT WORKS FOR ME! Lonnie

No, Your dell uses pc2-6400 and only supports a maximum of 4gb of ram.. The best upgrade for an older laptop is an ssd hard drive upgrade. It will run almost as fast as a new new laptop. You can pick up a 128gb for 50 or a 240gb for around 100. You will have to reinstall windows, but believe me it's definitely worth it. I would recommend 2gb of ram as well.

It gives you the option to import. I would get the 2014 version though for the newest updates. The other item is when it comes to Backup you will need to figure out how to separate the restore / backup file to insure you use the right one. Not really a big deal though as it is fairly easy. I use their online backup as well.
