Alternative to MS money that I can import old money files in too

I’ve had to change my laptop recently and am not able to find MS money sunset to download again.  Is there an alternative available that I could download my 12 years worth of money data in to?  I’d hate to lose all that data as it’s made such a difference to my finances.

    Have a look a Microsoft Money 2005 - there are free versions available that (certainly) work with Windows 10.  I've been using it since (at least) 2007 and it's still going strong.

  • Hi,
    seem to be downloads HERE, but you've maybe already tried them.

    I have copies of the last MS Money installer download if you are struggling. I've never actually got around to installing it, I'm still using Money 2000, but if all else fails I could probably upload it somewhere.

    I still use MS 2005 without problems, W10 and I imported Money files from older PC without any problems

    Looks here, it's where mine came from

    Importing MS Money data into any other program is a horrendous task. You have to export each account separately and when I tried it a great deal of editing was necessary. I gave up part way through. Far better to stick with MS Money if you can find a download source.
