I don't know how complicated the data you are attempting to transfer is. I can tell you that I recently had access to an old computer with Quicken 2011. I used this to write out 10 years of .QIF files, one file for each year, data for that year only. I had it include everything that it would for me - accounts, all transactions, securities, etc. I seem to remember, when I first ditched the old program for Gnucash, that I had a bit of a hard time attempting to convert data. I eventually gave up and just started with an empty file and manually constructed the account structure, put in all the transactions for the last year or so, and ran both Gnucash and Quicken concurrently until I was able to switch over completely.

This last go at it, with the latest Gnucash (4.12) I was able to read all those .QIF files very easily. The only data troubles I had were the result of my carelessness all those years ago in making Quicken entries, and maybe some oddities in how Quicken handles stock splits. Easy stuff to fix. The only thing I never got to transfer over was the price database from Quicken. None of the historical prices seemed to get through. Again, probably my fault.

So, if you're not averse to updating to the latest version of Gnucash, I'd recommend it for this type of thing. The interface was rather nice, once I got used to it. Reading stuff in, checking it, fixing problems, was pretty straightforward to me.
