works with Sierra

Is Quicken 2007 Compatible with macOS 10.12 "Sierra"?

On the otherhand, take a look at this long review of Quicken 2017. Can import 2007 data, apparently many improvements over the older versions. It is around $50 at Amazon.

-----------------

You can call Apple support about how to get from 10.4 to Sierra. Tell them you are calling about Mac OS and how to upgrade. Number I have is 800 275 2273.

Or like you say, talk to somebody at the Genius Bar!

Before you upgrade I would recommend you back up your current hard drive to an external drive. That way you can go back to the old system in case you don't like sierra.

There is back-up software built into Mac OS X called "Time Machine" but I don't remember if it is in 10.4 Tiger. I use a share software called super-duper.

I do need to say that when you first install sierra it will be very slow. That's because it does a lot of work to analyze where files are on your hard drive and other behind the scene maintenance. That usually takes several hours, then things are back to normal.

Ok that's all I know! Let me know if something wasn't clear
