Running Turbo Tax on Windows 10 Machine

I accidently posted this on US site, reposting again here as I am in Canada.

I didn't read all the conversation on this topic back from Oct 2025 and unfortunately bought the TT 2025, but later realized I can't upgrade to W11. Now I am stuck here paid $40/- for the software which I can't use it.

The question I have is, I tried to install the software on W10 machine which gives me a warning that I need W11 OS, but it also allow me to installed on W10 machine with a security warning & risk.

What is everyone's thought on this approach? should I move on to another tax software (and waste my $40/-) or continue to use it on my W10 machine? (I can't afford to buy a new W11 machine at this time)

TurboTax Tax Year 2025 is compatible with Windows 10; however, we recommend Windows 11. You can continue to use Windows 10 for Turbo Tax desktop.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

Thanks. This is a big relief from the stress of moving to another tax software as I have been using the TT for last 20+ years

Will turbo tax 2025 standard version install and work on a windows 10 machine despite the windows 11 recommendation or do I need to get the on-line version that will work from any browser? Both are the same price. My preference is the former.

@analystguy Yes. While we still recommend using Windows 11, TurboTax Desktop 2025 will run on Windows 10.

Thanks for the quick reply. Staples advises they've received complaints from customers that it won't work on windows 10 machines. The previous post and your answer would suggest otherwise.
