I'm running Desktop Pro 2016 on Windows 10 and really don't have a need to upgrade Quickbooks at this time. I would like to, however, upgrade to Windows 11. Has anyone had success in running an older version of Quickbooks on Windows 11? Many thanks

Welcome to the Community space, @KParent1.

Thank you for sharing the details of your concern. I'm here to provide some insights regarding upgrading to Windows 11 in case you decide to do so.

Considering that you mentioned not upgrading your QuickBooks Desktop, I suggest you refrain from doing so. This is because upgrading to Windows 11 might result in compatibility issues since QuickBooks Desktop 2022 and later versions are the only ones compatible with the new OS.

I wouldn't recommend to run QB Desktop on Win 11. Unless you have no other choice.

Did you encounter any error message?

Another option, try to install it on Win 8 compatibility mode.

A related question... I have already upgraded to QuickBooks Online but I still have Desktop Pro 2016 on my PC and regularly use it to access historic reports. I don't enter any new data on the desktop version. Will I still be able to access the data on Windows 11? Thanks.

It's good to know that you've upgraded to the online version, @g_dely.

Please know that your QuickBooks Desktop version doesn't support Windows 11. You can check the system requirements for Desktop Pro 2016 to verify its compatibility with your operating system.

I have upgraded to Windows 11 and yes Quickbooks 2016 works on Windows 11.

Plus Quickbooks 2011 works on Windows 11.

If you reside in Canada near Ottawa, Ontario I can tell you exactly who can install it for you.

Thanks

Thanks for posting that . . . good to know 🙂 I really do not want to go to a subscription based product and right now. I'm running Desktop Pro 2016 on Windows 10 but would need to switch to Windows 11 eventually.
