Windows 11 begins rolling out on October 5th and my understanding is that it will neither include nor support Internet Explorer.  I believe Quickbooks desktop requires IE in order to work.  Anyone know if this is the case or not?

Welcome to the Community, @richardhwi. I'll take care of this query for you.

 

From a Microsoft blog, the Internet Explorer 11 app will retire on the 15th of June, 2022. It also states that Microsoft Edge will have Internet Explorer mode. It allows users to access legacy Internet Explorer-based websites and apps.

I would like to know if Quickbooks 2016 Desktop will continue to work on Windows 11.  It currently works on Windows 10.  I see mention that it requires Internet Explorer to work, and Explorer will have an end date of June 2022, but, Edge will offer some IE functions by turning on some flag in Edge.

 

All this is nice to know, BUT, if I upgrade to Windows 11 now, will Desktop 2016 continue to work for the foreseeable future?

Thank you for joining us here in the Community, @ardyiii.

 

I'm happy to share some information with you about the QuickBooks Desktop system requirements.

 

Each QuickBooks Desktop version has its system requirements. Currently, QuickBooks Desktop 2016 is not supported already. We cannot guarantee that it will work when Internet Explorer ends. 

 

You can consult an IT expert to ask for a piece of advice, or you can also upgrade to the latest version.

 

If you decide to upgrade, check this article for more information: Upgrade QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus, Premier Plus, or Enterprise.

 

Here are the system requirements for the recent versions:
