P.S. I have been running TurboTax in a dedicated Oracle VirtualBox virtual machine for years now. That VM is still running the same Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 edition as my physical PC...
When TurboTax releases their Desktop product for TY2025 I will purchase it just to see if I can get it to install and run in that VM as-is, still running this specific edition of Windows 10, using whatever tricks I have up my sleeve. 😎
If I'm not successful then I will clone that VM and upgrade the clone to Windows 11 (shudder), and confirm/deny whether it will run in a Win11 virtual machine. I'll update this thread with any success or failure reports, and any hints on how to workaround Intuit's ridiculous requirement for Windows 11, over and above Microsoft's continued support of Windows 10 (not just IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 edition, but now apparently Home and Pro editions, after paying M$ a $30 extortion fee).
If TurboTax will continue to run in a virtual machine (regardless of Windows edition) then this may be a solution for the rest of you that aren't ready to "upgrade" their PCs to Windows 11, or (like me) simply refuse to do that. Oracle VirtualBox is completely free and it's as easy to install as TurboTax itself.
