TT 2025 desk top stand alone PC

Intuit.  Can you explain with detail what security feature\s in Win 11 are required for TT 2025?  This was a corp choice and my guess is a deal made with MS.  There has to be a simple way to disable TT Win version test before loading the program.

There is a hack available that allows Windows 10 users to install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware.

Answer: Because Intuit said so. If you don't like it, you're free to use an online version of TurboTax or buy another DIY developer's tax prep product (e.g., H&R Block).

You are correct there is a Win 11 install hack, Flyoobe is a good one and I have used it on a few devices.  Having said that, that is not the point.

M-M Tax,

  It is OK to admit you don't know the real reason. Help desk operators frequently are not provided detailed information. This was a management call and time will tell if it was a good call or not.

Sorry, but it's just too obvious that this was strictly a financial decision. They could easily have made the desktop products support Windows 10.
