Hi - Firstimer here.
Looking for instruction on exact steps to take to upgrade OS.

Will anyone direct me to instruction page?
Thank you

Which year/version of Quicken are you using? Intuit has the bad habit of stripping features out of the Mac version as it released "newer" versions to the point that after Quicken 2007, the so-called Quicken Essentials is being abandoned by the Mac community.
Unless you are already using Quicken Essentials, you probably have the PPC version of Quicken, which requires Rosetta, which you will install in Snow Leopard as an Option Install as pointed out to you above.
You can now purchase for download for $15 Quicken 2007 for Lion. Again this version is much more preferable when you upgrade to Lion than Quicken Essentials. You can purchase it here:
http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance-software/quicken-2007-osx-lion.jsp
This version will accept the data file from Quicken 2005, 2006 or 2007.
If you are using an earlier version, such as my experience which was Quicken Deluxe 2002, you MUST use the PPC version of Quicke 2006 or 2007 (in Snow Leopard) to update the data and then it will work in Quicken 2007 for Lion.
Thanks noondaywithch,
