Can't activate Quickbooks Pro Desktop - Browser not supported error message

I've been using QB Pro 2017 on my desktop PC for several years. I decided today to also install it on my laptop.

I don't have a DVD drive on my laptop so I copied all the DVD installation disk files to a USB stick and then to the laptop. Ran the setup file, entered my license and product codes and everything seemed to go fine.

 

When I run QB I get the screen to 'Begin Activation' But when I click that I get an error "Browser not supported. Download the latest version of one of these browsers"

The rest of the page is blank, there are no other browsers listed.

 

My laptop is connected to the internet and I have the latest versions of Chrome and Edge installed.

I've tried multiple times and have rebooted the laptop but I can't get beyond this activation step.

 

Any help appreciated. Thanks

Win 10 Pro doesn't support IE anymore and you still need it to run QBD 2017. Try reinstalling your QBD 2017 in Win 7 or 8 compatibility mode.
