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.) . . .
A bit of thread drift just on this point: my understanding is that it's not that TT2020 can't run on Win7 machines, or that they don't want to do tech support on Win7 systems, but that Microsoft is no longer performing security updates on Windows 7. The potential vulnerability of our data is the issue, as I understand it, and Intuit doesn't want to be in the position of having customers blame it for Win7 vulnerabilities. I too hate to see that beautiful operating system go--it's been great, but the decision not to keep it secure is Microsoft's, and it has to affect how software vendors work.
All that said ... I'd bet 1% of my refund that if you could load TT2020 on Win7, you could activate it without having to mess with the display settings.
