Is Quicken 2004 compatible with Windows 10

Can anyone advise on whether Quicken Premier 2004 will run on Windows 10?

Quicken no longer supports 2004 and therefore cannot advise. Any assistance would be appreciated

I currently running Quicken on Windows 7 pro

Thank you

Unable to open Quicken 2004

Quicken 2004 is a *very* old version and is not compatible with Windows 10. See How and When to Use an Intermediate Version To Convert Older Versions of Quicken which says "Quicken 2004 has been tested and will install and run
on Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 operating systems (32- or 64-bit for Quicken 2004) through the conversion process.
It is not compatible with Windows 10.

"There is no fix. You need to buy a new version of Quicken.

 

I have managed to install Quicken 2004 Disc 2 on Windows 10, and loaded data onto it, however when I try to back up to a memory stick the whole system freezes and becomes unresponsive. Any solutions? Any one else had this problem? .

 

Hi guys, just managed to get Quicken XG 2004 working under the Windows 10 environment... thanks, however I don't now seem to be able to print or set up the print options, any ideas or has anyone else come across this?

I am also getting this problem when I try to back up my Quicken files - not just to a USB but to anywhere! Has anyone worked out how to resolve it?
Thanks,
Bill

 

Resolved!

Install Quicken as per the instructions but then scroll down and read the further instructions from Fellwalker to set the compatibility mode to Windows 7 - and Hey Presto! The backup now works! Thank you Fellwalker!!

 

After a complete crash (possibly caused by vulnerability in latest W10 update?) I'm now trying to reinstall programs. Previously I'd had no problems, and I've followed the main posts by Geoff King and others. But this time I've tried repeatedly to reinstall from the 2004 disc and get either 1) small Quicken screen which promptly disappears and I can't get any further, or 2) 'this program cannot be installed...missing mfc70.dll, msvcr70dll and msvcp70.dll' as GK suggests.
I have tried copying them (from another old computer) but still have no joy.
I'm desperate now! Can anyone suggest anything else I can do, please??

 

I was lucky as I had my old PC available but I followed this guidance from here - Quicken 2004. Windows 10 compatibility - Microsoft Community

 

2004•0Í7....and here I was thinking my 2012 was a prehistoric artifact! Anyway, have you tried using the compatibility troubleshooter to install?
