Possible solution to TurboTax dropping Windows 10 support?

[Solar Eclipse]

Hi Folks,

Given the dreadful decision by TurboTax to drop WIndows 10 support for 2025 onward, I wanted to share a thought for any techies on the forum as a possible solution for us Win10 desktop users...

What about creating a portable Windows 11 USB drive?  From what I've read, it seems possible to simply buy a USB drive and use a readily available free 3rd party product to create a bootable, portable Win11 drive that can be plugged into an existing Win10 PC and run Win11.  Then install TurboTax on that Win11 platform.  This would leave us Win10 PC users intact for another year  (or more) without having to purchase new PC's or risk upgrading existing machines to Win11, as Microsoft will continue to support security updates for Win10.

Thoughts?

I'm not a techie so this is just my opinion. I don't think this would work. Windows 11 is more than a software upgrade. It depends on hardware features that most Windows 10 computers don't have. If your Windows 10 computer supports Windows 11 then you can just install it. Otherwise you can use online TT for 2025 taxes on your Windows 10 system. If you try installing Windows 11 on a flash drive, reply back to this thread and let us know how your idea works or not.
