Windows 11 and older QuickBooks

[kathyc2]

I have QB 2019 desktop Accountant Edition.  I'm seeing conflicting info online if it will continue to work with Windows 11.

Anyone with first hand experience?

Before people start going on about security, I only use it for my personal information, not clients.

I use Quicken 10 for all of my personal bookkeeping.

i have QB Pro 2019 on Win 11 with no problems.  I use it only for my personal business accounting so cannot speak to any potential issues with payroll or other updates. In fact, I don't think it even updates any longer but it serves my purpose.

I've got personal stuff on QB 2021 on a W10 machine. If it won't work on W11, then that machine will get kept on W10 and I just won't use it online.

I just bought a new computer to run W11 and had the old hard drive cloned over.  Quickbooks Desktop 2019 still works fine on it.  But like Catherine, I kept my old W10 machine just in case any issues arise with any software in the future.  I plan to run it about every week to keep it updated until Oct 2025  (and beyond if I decide to take advantage of the 1-year extension I keep hearing about) Then I will just run it offline if necessary.

But who knows - I may take this as impetus to update my probably 10 year old W10 laptop with the flaky "n" key and nearly-unusable space key! Hey, it works fine on vacation with the plug-in keyboard...

I'm using QB Premier Accountant 2017.  I bought a new computer with Windows 11 in May and sent it and the old one to my IT guy to transfer everything.  

He struggled with my "real" software a LOT and I ended up on a call with Sage support last week because I couldn't access the payroll tax forms. 

There were quite a few questions when IT moved QB but he was able to make it happen and I've been using it daily for over a month with no issues.
