Windows 11 and Microsoft Money

Doc_N

New PC arriving with Windows 11 and looking to continue using Microsoft Money on it. Digging around online I see suggestions that both the Sunset Edition and the 2005 edition should run, but each one seems to create some problems some times.

I know there are quite a few users of Money on here - any advice on which of the two to install, or any other tips, would be appreciated. I gather if one installation fails it can make it difficult to try the other option.

My LG laptop is running Money 2005 which was installed using Money2005-UK-QFE2.exe

I don't update any accounts online, just use it manually and the only glitch I remember is in REPORTS where it freezes on one of the Price History lines, but my Windows 10 machine does the same.

I use Microsoft Money Plus Deluxe (almost daily). I installed Windows 11 over Christmas and I've had no issues so far.

IIRC it recommends you disable any anti-virus software while installing it.

Should be fine, for me Money 2005 UK runs perfectly on a W11 ARM virtual machine on a Mac so even the underlying architecture isn't the x86 it was developed for and it works. I had no issues with installation.
