Before you do that, please ALSO use the validate checkup from within your
old Quicken. There may be errors in your files that will f@ up your
files when used in a new install.
Now you should have 2 sets of files to try.
Others have also advised to run your reports on the old machine setup and
then try them on the new setup to diagnose any potential problems.
