TurboTax Desktop Question - they announced not compatible with Windows 10 next year - has anyone tried to use the new desktop software on a Windows 10 computer?

What happened if you did?

Sorry it won't work.  There are lots of posts about it.  You need Windows 11 for the 2025 program.  You can only install the Turbo Tax Business DIY  program on Windows 10.  Not any of the personal versions inculding Home & Business program.

The furthest you’ll get is an offer to switch to online premium for no extra cost for fed.

Folks have been using Win 11 VMs on Win 10 machines to run TT tho.

There is an alternative to VM to run W11 on a W10 machine. if your hard drive has sufficient free space it can be partitioned or you have a second hard drive.  then use an app that can install w11 (the app changes the registry to bypass checks for W11 compatibility.  you must use dual boot so the machine boots into W10 or W11 but not both. A VM doesn't require dual boot becuase memory and cpu are split among both OSs so both can function at the same time
