Yes, I agree with Chrea, @psg5. QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) 2020 may run on Windows 11. However, QBDT may not also run or function optimally in this operating system (OS) since the OS isn't listed in the system requirements. I'll explain further to give you a better insight into system compatibility.
In your case, it's recommended to upgrade to QBDT 2024, as this version is compatible with Windows 11. Nevertheless, despite this fact and information, here's a list of compatible operating systems for QBDT 2020:
- Windows 10, all editions, including 64-bit
- Windows 8.1 (Update 1), all editions including 64-bit
- Windows Server 2019, Standard and Essentials
- Windows Server 2016, Standard and Essentials
- Windows Server 2012 R2, Standard and Essentials
- Windows Server 2012, Standard and Essentials
- Windows Small Business Server 2011, Standard and Essentials
