migrating from Sage 50 2014

SUGGESTED

Greetings.   I am a complete novice with Sage  so bear with me.   I am asking a question on behalf of my father-in-law who uses a copy of SAGE50 (Canadian Edition) acquired in 2014 and running on a Windows 8 PC.

My father-in-law is 102 and an ex partner of KPMG.   He still uses SAGE 50 to post to his personal accounts.....

I need to migrate him to a new PC running Windows 10.     Can anyone point me to instructions on how to convert his data to the current SAGE 50 Canadian Edition?  If you could also recommend which current version of Sage 50 he should acquire that would help immensely.   His needs are basic.  He has a company set up to manage the basic accounting for his personal needs ..

He bought the copy of SAGE50 in 2014 but I think the business model for SAGE has changed to a subscription .   Do I have that right?

Sorry if this all sounds confused .... it is because I am !

Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hi George: I am impressed! your father-in-law must be someone very special still doing his own work on a computer at that age.

    Try to maintain the use of 2014. If you have to purchase a newer version you would be looking at a subscription service. If you are getting a new computer with Windows 10, Sage 50 2014 should work as I have known others who were using 2014 on Windows 10.
