I was in a similar position but from MapInfo. You will find that most if not all of \
your individual data files will open fine in QGIS. Opening whole projects and layouts \
is a different matter of course. You will probably find it easier, once you have \
practised on some simple datasets and become familiar with basic QGIS terminology and \
processes, to reassemble the most-needed portions of your older work from your base \
material rather than seeking a magic-bullet translator for finished products. Start \
with the QGIS training manual https://docs.qgis.org/2.14/en/docs/training_manual/and \
the https://www.qgistutorials.com/en/ (I'm sure there is other fine material out \
there too) and look for modules most relevant to the tasks and data you have. You \
would need these skills anyway to debug whatever any such elusive beast might create. \
The basics of how QGIS treats data sources, coordinate reference systems, formatting, \
georeferencing and spatial queries is not so different as to be impenetrable. Good \
luck!

Subject: [Qgis-user] transferring data from ArcGis to QGIS
For a number of years, whilst a student and on the staff of University I have used \
ArcGis. After this year I will be retiring from University and losing this access. \
I would like to copy all my work over to QGIS, so that I can continue my research, \
could you let me know if this is possible and where I can locate directions to do it. \
I have all my work on an external hard drive.
Many thanks
Janet
