I hope that the programming team is embarrassed by forcing users of TurboTax to upgrade Windows to Windows 11. Sorry guys and gals, there isn't anything in TurboTax that requires any sophisticated programming, actually quite basic screens on the front end. I have used TurboTax since the days of DOS versions and except for the leap to Windows versions, the user interface hasn't changed much ( kudos for that ).
I use McAfee on all of my desktops and laptops and Android phones, so I really don't need Microsoft's attempt at security.
When TurboTax dropped support of Win7, I was able to run a VMWare Virtual PC running Windows 10, installed TurboTax on that VM and away I went just fine. Can't do that now with Windows 11.
Using the online version of TurboTax isn't an option, as I have mortgage payments, itemized deductions, etc. that according to Intuit, aren't available items in TurboTax .
If other companies follow this mantra to force one to purchase / install new hardware and software, then shame on them and Microsoft.
Here's hoping that companies will allow their programmers to write software that will adapt to it's environment at runtime or installation time. 🤞
