Windows 11

Thanks for all the comments. Since nobody had anything negative to say, I guess I'll go ahead with it.

I won't do my second computer anyway, since there are no important documents on it.

I hate to have to switch to another software and have to type in all that info over again.

You do NOT have to type all that info in again. I switched from Turbotax to HRBlock four or five years ago, and the HRBlock software had no problem at all importing the data from my last Turbotax return.

Personally, I will not be upgrading to Win 11 for the simple reason that my computer does not have the hardware that Win 11 requires. It is 14 years old, which I admit is pretty ancient, but it serves all of my needs perfectly well. I keep getting messages that I have to upgrade, but I CANNOT upgrade! I see no reason to buy a new computer at this point, just so that Bill Gates can make yet more money, and have yet more control over my system. Thanks, but NO THANKS!

Luckily for me, I spent 10 years as a Redhat Linux administrator before retiring in 2021. So if worse comes to worst, I will load my machine with one of the Linux distros. In fact, I have been thinking about going ahead and doing that anyway!

I already checked and was told that I can buy a new computer for what it would take to upgrade my old desktop to run 11. At least Turbo Tax warned me early.

I thought I had bought my last computer. That's what I get for thinking.

My computer with Windows 10 conked out on me, so I ended up buying a new computer with Windows 11 already loaded in. The only saving grace was that the new computer had about twice the horsepower of the old one.

I have all my TT data files going back to the early days of TT. Also the original TT floppy discs. Extremely unlikely they will ever be needed, but I have everything just in case. I also still have an external floppy disc drive that handles both 3.5" and 5.25" floppies, unused for at least 30 years. Long ago there was only one TT program that handled everything, instead of the four or five now. I don't know if my present laptop has everything needed internally to upgrade to W11. I guess all I can do is to try it and see.
