I won't be upgrading my Windows 10 right away but I know I need to do it within the 'Free upgrade' window. Do not want to assume anything I cannot find in online documentation.

It's too risky and we haven't tried it in Win 10 compatibility mode on Win 11. You'll have to wait until Q2/2022 and let "early adopters" do it for now.

Well the update on windows took most of the day.  Yuk!  Quickbooks did an update as well.  Butttttt.........will not print anything.  I have had printer issues with other software too.  I have uploaded, or tried , new drivers.  But cannot get the printer setup function to come up in quickbooks.  Looked for another update nothing.  No checks.  It is payroll time.  Can't print.  Panicking at the moment.
