AMEN. Incredibly frustrating and doesn't reflect at all well on Intuit.
So far, to run the software I paid for, I've been forced to waste a day setting up a **bleep** virtual machine to host Windows 10 (Pro x64) on my physical Windows 7 x64 Ultimate system, which has otherwise been serving me well for over a decade. (There is no reason TT2020 couldn't run on this platform; I'd happily sign a disclaimer waiving Win7-related tech support.)
Then when I do get their recommended OS nailed up and running all other software without issue, I'm staring at a spinning dot on a blank activation screen. Another half-day gone. In my case, changing VirtualBox host settings and guest display to 1024x768 with 100% scaling finally made it work, although I did have to try several times, so there appears to be some element of randomness in play here.
