TurboTax for 2019 will support Windows 8 and higher, so if you are on Windows 8 you do not have to upgrade. It will not support Windows 7, so if you have Windows 7 then, yes, you should upgrade. You will have to upgrade before you can install TurboTax for 2019.</P> Mon, 05 Aug 2019 19:26:02 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-should-i-upgrade-to-windows-10-before-i-buy-turbo-tax-for-2019/01/837180#M328825 rjs 2019-08-05T19:26:02Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-should-i-upgrade-to-windows-10-before-i-buy-turbo-tax-for-2019/01/864019#M337972 <P>You should but for reasons well beyond Turbo Tax.&nbsp; Partway in to January 2020, Microsoft will cease all support for Windows 7. This means no service packs or security updates which would leave your Win7 device more vulnerable. I also suspect that the major Antivirus program makers will, at some point, stop releasing new products for Win 7. &nbsp; I have a 7+ year old Windows 7 PC which has served me very well but I will be getting a new Windows 10 PC before the end of the year.&nbsp; I also have a Windows 8.1 laptop and a Windows 10 laptop.&nbsp; Win 8.1 is a good operating system but Microsoft threw too many silly toys into it.&nbsp; I was reluctant to get a WIn10 laptop but I've been very pleased with it. For me Win 10 is more of logical jump from Win 7 than Win 8.1.&nbsp; It is now a solid operating system and doesn't some of those annoying "features" that Win 8 and 8.1 have.</P> Sat, 12 Oct 2019 17:23:21 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-should-i-upgrade-to-windows-10-before-i-buy-turbo-tax-for-2019/01/864019#M337972 nytovjo 2019-10-12T17:23:21Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-should-i-upgrade-to-windows-10-before-i-buy-turbo-tax-for-2019/01/864298#M338097 <P>TurboTax has announced a change regarding Windows 7 support. The TurboTax CD/Download software for 2019 will be able to be installed and run in Windows 7. However, they don't recommend it because of the security risks. The TurboTax CD/Download for 2020 will not be able to be installed in Windows 7.
