If I have Deluxe 2005 can I switch to Basic 2008? I just want to
track my stocks online and my checking & credit card accounts. Will
that work with Basic?

I can also get a good deal on Home & Business which I guess would be
my 2nd choice.

I just upgraded from 2005 H&B to 2008 H&B because I was informed by
Wachovia Bank that 2005 was no longer supported and I would lose my
online banking capability if I did not upgrade.
I was able to get a copy from Costco for $50.00 which included a
$15.00 sale coupon they were offering. I think the price was fair.
The one thing I've noticed thus far is the 2008 version runs much
slower on my PC - which is an older Dell Optiplex GX1 running Windows
2000. I use this particular PC for business applications only, so
processor and graphics speed was unimportant up to now. Now I may have
get a new PC also, which sucks, because I don't use or need any of the
new functionality in the 2008 version.

Please log in for more thread options Hi, RWM.
You should have no problems switching to Basic. I switched from Deluxe to
Basic a few years ago.
But, then, I don't have an IRA or 401(k) plans, and I don't rely on Quicken
for my savings goals and retirement plans. I do track my stocks daily (when
Quicken's service is working - it has been missing many days recently). I
don't download credit card and checking transactions, but I could.
All the, well, basic functionality of Quicken is in the Basic version.
Deluxe and higher versions just add bells and whistles that SOME of us need,
but most of us don't. Of course, if you run a business with employees and
depreciable properties, the Basic version might not be enough for you, but
you haven't mentioned anything like that.
