I turned off encryption; it went through decryption.

I read the thread, but I thought what I did avoids future problems?  I still have no MS account.

 

24H2   26100.1301

Device encryption > “sign in with microsoft account to finish encrypting”  (I only have a local account)

Encrypted is set to “on”

(I still haven’t connected to internet, wanted to set up group policy first )

 

 

I have a local admin id and nothing else, but GPEDIT shows no business options .

It would not let me change from personal to work, and I don’t know what that affects going forward.

Can I simply “Reset this PC” and start the setup over again?

 

It IS w11 Pro, but I think I just put “home” in that option.   I didn’t know it made a difference in the setup.

 

Thank you so much. I assumed 24H2 and I’m in.

I haven’t had a new PC in 6 years.

I think this is going to take a while.

 

 

I’m using LibreOffice.  Every account so far uses a different format, even within a bank.   Most amount columns are just a signed numeric, some need the sign swapped, but a couple are text-format with $ embedded in the text value.  What were they thinking about when they wrote that one.

I’d go nuts if I had to do this every month for the 10 accounts, but for 2 years worth at a one time, its fine.  Making the bulk of the modifications (category, memo) is easier in a spreadsheet than in quicken.

This script is great.  Most of my time was determining how to modify the fields in each .csv to convert them correctly.   I found the commas and double quotes but the amount formats are pretty wild (remove leading  ‘$  and swap the -/+ ).   Got 2 years of some accounts loaded, working on the others.

I was buried in the previous conversions…

I can easily modify the .csv files to match whatever you have put together.   It will take me a couple hours to get to it but I’ll start testing later today and let you know how it goes.

Thanks so much for putting your time into this.

Anything prior to the past 120 days is all .csv, a lot of transactions.  But unless I’m missing something, csv-to-qif is a lot more complicated than qfx-to-qif?

I’m still researching ProperSoft and looking for reviews.  It might be worth purchasing for a month to salvage 2 years.

For a one-time load, the formats of the .csv’s wouldn’t matter so much to me.  Each account (12) has about 2 years of transactions in the .csv, I could manually manipulate that data to fit a certain format.  But dealing with the amount of missing data and create .qfx/.qif structure just seems daunting to me.

I have the past 120 days loaded and can go forward with your script, it is a life-saver for this.

Thank you thank you thank you, I just imported the first QIF.   I’ve been buried in this and it will at least recover the last 3 months of madness.  I’ll probably write off the .csv conversion as a lost cause.

Have never heard of perl, but I quit the IT world 20 years ago and burned my pager (yeah).  Wish I could pick things up again just to deal with these kinds of problems.

Thanks again.

At this point my better solution is to manually enter the transactions, and there’s quite a bit backed up.

Credit card/bank types are all I need. I can get a lot of the files as QFX, but am clueless about perl.  I did a few searches but couldn’t figure out what I would need to run it.  What would I need?

 

 

Thanks, new to me, I’ll check it out.

It seems like it should be so simple, but if it was, everybody would just load their spreadsheets and bypass Quicken.

No, it will only import Security Prices from a .csv file.

Transactions have to be imported from .qif (or via web connect).  None of the banks export .qif any more, but I can always get .csv files.

I am printing on a Lexmark Optra E312L (monochrome laser) that I purchased in March 2001 from Dell for $410.  It is on its 2nd toner cartridge; I have one more (used) cartridge sitting on the shelf that was given to me 10 years ago from an Optra that was being tossed.
I have to play with the paper because the rollers are shot.
I can’t find a driver for Windows 10 so I have it connected to a Windows 7 computer and move the files there to print.
I really need another laser printer.

I am on my third Epson Workforce WF-3620 (ink) all-in-one that I use only as a scanner. They were all given to me as throw-aways in the past 5 years because they quit printing.  Not something I would pay for.
