Dropping support for WIndows 10 for Turbotax 2025

[ftldny]

"You will still be able to use TurboTax on Windows 10 for 2024 and prior year returns."

Yeah, that's really helpful.  Likewise the suggestion that "even with W10 you can continue to use the Turbotax online products."

Note also that "According to the latest data from Statcounter, Windows 10 continues to dominate the market with a 60.37 percent share of Windows installations. Windows 11, despite Microsoft's efforts, has only recently seen an uptick in adoption, reaching 36.6 percent in January 2025."

As I asked earlier, how many millions of users is Intuit prepared to throw away?

Since Windows 10 will no longer be protected by Microsoft, someone will come up with a patch to fool installers into thinking it is Windows 11.

Perhaps some AI already knows how to do it.

if the W11 requirement comes to pass, one option i'm considering is buying a cheap laptop to hookup to my desktop monitor and full-size keyboard.  however, the real issue is what other apps will no longer work with W10 like Quick Books, Quicken, etc.
