What a lie, saying this is for security when a person can still get security updates for Windows 10 for $30.00 . Also, without any updates you would still be secure and like 100 percent of apps I have now will run on Windows 11 without any changes to the apps. So there isn't any difference, the programs will run in either environment. Not using their stupid cloud which is less secure and can be hacked by anyone who really wants in, we all seen the hack to other major companies- even government. Here is the lie I received:
Hi there,
We’re reaching out to provide an update on TurboTax Desktop software for tax year 2025. After October 14, 2025, Microsoft will no longer provide software updates, technical assistance, or security fixes for Windows 10 operating system. Because security is a top priority for us, TurboTax Desktop software for tax year 2025 onwards will not be compatible with Windows 10 operating system.
To use TurboTax Desktop software for tax year 2025, your computer will need to run on Microsoft Windows 11 operating system. You can also consider switching to TurboTax Online, which will work on any supported browser (available December 2025).
For more resources and additional information about this change, go to this help article: How does the end of support for Windows 10 affect my TurboTax Desktop experience?
Thanks for being part of the TurboTax family.
Warm regards,
The TurboTax Team
