Decomposed > If you folks aren't using 11, be forewarned that 2026 Turbo Tax reportedly will not work on Windows 10.


I think . .
It was two years ago now that I learned turbo tax would NOT work with 32 bit windoze 10.

So I was forced to 'invest' in a windoze 11 box. And the only thing I do on the danged thing IS my taxes.

I also learned that the 'new tech' involves a teeny tiny hard drive about the size of a USB stick which looks like a teeny tiny circuit board which is bolted on to the mother board. Fortunately, the darned thing does have SATA plugs internal.

I helped my sister upgrade her 4-year-old computer to Windows 11 this week and it seems to be going smoothly. If you folks aren't using 11, be forewarned that 2026 Turbo Tax reportedly will not work on Windows 10. So you might as well bite the bullet and start getting used to the new OS. If you have an older system that will have problems with Windows 11 . . . Black Friday is just a few days off.

I'm happy with it. I was able to "fix" most of what I disliked - with notable exceptions being 11's incompatibility with Access 2007 and with Dragon Naturally Speaking 13. Oh well. I have workarounds for each (I use a different computer for Access.) I'll live.

Some of 11's new features are great: Copilot, speech recognition, Narrator. Copilot alone makes it all worthwhile.
