Your data should automatically sync if you’ve been using Quicken’s cloud backup or online services. Otherwise, you can restore your data manually from your last backup file.
If you're unable to access your account or your product isn't listed under your purchases, don’t worry. You can get help directly from Quicken support.
Visit Quicken.com/download
Choose the method of contact that works best for you: chat, email, or phone
Provide proof of purchase if asked (such as the email used for the original purchase or a transaction ID)
Once you've reinstalled Quicken, consider keeping a backup of the installer and your data files in a safe location—such as an external hard drive or cloud storage. This can make future reinstalls easier.
