[GNC] budget reports 'YTD' vs 'use accumulated amounts'

[larry johnston]

Hi,

I did not try to upgrade when I asked this question three years ago.
However my computer is on its last legs so I am trying to decide what to do
when I get the new computer.

We have been using GNUCash 2.6.15 and it has met our needs for our personal
finances. A key feature for us is Phil's YTD report. Per the discussion in
this string his report will not work in more recent versions. As a result I
have a few questions.

Will 2.6.15 run on Windows 11? Can it still be downloaded?

Does a later version have a report with the same functionality as Phil's
YTD report?

If we want to access our current files what stages of upgrading do we need
to take?

Is it possible for someone who is not that computer savvy to run two
versions of GNUCash on Windows 11?

TIA,

Larry
