I had to buy a new computer so I decided to purchase a MacBook Air with Mac OS system 14.7 My old system was a Mac OS Sierra Verson 10.12.6 which I used with Quick Books 2016 for my business. Does anyone know how or if I can get that QB 2016 to run on my new MacBook Air.

The page says that it was "Updated 2 years ago", so I would check elsewhere on the Quicken site to find out what the current version of QuickBooks would be.

I am not familiar with them, so check with Intuit what the features, pricing, and migration of data from QuickBooks 2016 would be like.
