My wife bought the 2010 Home and Business instead of the Premier I
wanted.

Is there any way to get the H&B CD to install ONLY the Premier?

edit a setup file etc..

(I want to lose all the extra business stuff)

Intuit answered this a couple of years ago: No.

As Bob Wang said; there's a 60 day money back guarantee, so you can trade
down.

[Also, the newer Quicken versions make it easier to hide the things you
don't need: I'm betting that Q2010 is no exception. You should be able to
remove the business tab, the business menu, the business reports, and all
the business categories except "Not Sure, Biz". See the Setup tab.]

I know, I do not believe them. I think the CDs contain all versions
and each can be unlocked or at least previous versions did.

What's required is to copy the CD to disk, find what determines which
version and then hack it and burn a new CD or install from disk. I
really don't have time or energy to fool with it but I'm sure someone
must have, not necessarily to downgrade as the OP and I want to do, but
I'll bet there is a hacker somewhere who wants to upgrade and has done
so?

What's a "CD"?
