EVERY SINGLE TIME I login to a company file on QB 24, I get a warning like my life will end if I don't upgrade immediately to Windows 11. I am enrolled in continued updates for Windows 10, and plan on using Windows 10 until I MUST update because I LOATHE Windows 11.

Here is what I have to put up with:

NOTE: I DO get updates!

I found that Windows Server 2016, 2019, and 2022 shares the same core architecture as Windows 10/Windows 11, and Intuit developer team seems to only check the version number rather than the actual product name.

Windows 10: Version 10.0.19041+

Windows 11: Version 10.0.22000+

Windows Server 2022: Version 10.0.20348+

Windows Server 2019: Version 10.0.17xxx

Windows Server 2016: Version 10.0.14xxx

Since they all start with "10.0", they incorrectly report it as "Windows 10".

I'm sure Intuit won't admit to this ridiculous issue. The big question is how long it will take them to fix it.

I imagine the message will disappear by the time I'm forced to go to Windows 11. I have Windows 10 Pro and I believe the version of 11 offered for free for me was only Windows 11 Home. By then, they'll have come out with 12. Even though they swore 10 would be the last. I wish I could have kept Windows 7 Pro! That was the best.
