Moving away from Windows to Mac was something I planned to do for a very long time. I'm amazed how this simple program keeps working on every new version of Windows that comes out, without even updating the program to newer release. So, yes, we lost like 20 minutes doing this, but now my friend has his QHI database on his brand new Windows 10.

You first have to install Attic Manager on Windows XP (I checked, they say Windows 7 would also work), load the database there and then use Attic's backup/restore function to transfer the data to Windows 10.

qhi files cannot be loaded on Windows 10 directly. idb files load directly into Windows 10 copy of Attic Manager without problems. Then I talked with some friends who wanted to convert their Quicken databases and here's what we found: I first tried with the inventories I converted earlier and everything works as before. As you already know form my previous posts, Attic Manager can load QHI databases so I can access all that data it took me years to enter.

My next question is whether Attic Manager works and it does. Of course, one of the main questions was whether Quicken Home Inventory would work on it and the question is still no. Although my main system is Mac now, free is free and I decided to test it.

The difference is whether you get enough cash to buy a new couch (replacement value), versus an amount equivalent to what your five-year-old couch is worth today (actual value).Microsoft is offering free upgrade to Windows 10, and I figured I should try it. It's also worth reviewing the terms of your coverage to make sure that your possessions will be covered for replacement value versus actual value. (Once you do, you may need or want to go back and document those belongings in more detail.) You may want to weigh purchasing a rider or endorsement if your inventory tally shows you have belongings that collectively exceed those limits.

Pay particular attention to policy sublimits, which may have lower caps for specific categories such as electronics, jewelry, art and antiques, among others. "Sometimes you have to say, is that enough, or do I need more?" she said. The typical homeowners policy caps coverage for contents at 50 percent to 75 percent of what you have the home insured for, said McChristian. Once you've logged your belongings, go back and review your insurance coverage to make sure it's a fit. (Nest Egg also has a free Lite version, which limits the number of items you can document.)īoth can be password protected (although that costs an extra $0.99 with Nest Egg), and offer the ability to keep your inventory in the cloud as well as export it as a spreadsheet. There's also a handy alert feature to nudge you ahead of a warranty ending or an item expiring, and to remind you about items you've borrowed or loaned out. This app requires more of a time investment, but it has fields for all the right details if you have big-ticket items to document.

From there, add details to individual items as needed - there's a field to attach notes and additional photos, as well as specific prompts including manufacturer/brand, serial number and receipt photo.

Once you're done, you can go back and create individual item listings from those room photos. Select a room to focus on (choose one from a pre-provided list, or create your own), and then snap pictures of the space in quick succession. Inventorying can be fast going with this app. Two apps, I think, are worth a closer look:
