Welcome to the QuickBooks Community, NickiW.

 

Let me share some insights about the operating system.

 

At the moment, no supported version of QuickBooks Desktop (Pro Plus, Premier Plus, Pro, Premier Enterprise, or Accountant) is certified as fully compatible with Windows 11. If you plan to use Windows 11, your company file will likely open and may be used. However, there may be some unexpected issues with your QuickBooks software.

 

Here are the currently supported operating systems for running QuickBooks Desktop:​​

 

  • Windows 10, all editions including 64-bit, natively installed
  • Windows 8.1, all editions including 64-bit, natively installed
  • 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

To learn more about the compatibility, you can read this article: QuickBooks Desktop Microsoft Windows 11 Compatibility.

Its not an issue with how I have things setup, the pop up box is in what I will call corrupted state (too small and you can't enlarge it to get it to full size to do anything with it.)  I sat for a few hours with support trying things to resolve.  If there are other things to try, please post, as I do not have time to sit on a call with a software bug.  once the patch is published, please post an update here, or send notifications to your customers.

You have a pre-installed Windows 11? No QB Desktop version runs on Win 11 natively at this time. You should be able to clean install Windows 10 with the Windows 11 OEM license key that the PC comes with - so should not have to buy another license or disc as you can make your own Windows 10 Install USB/CD using Windows 10 MCT or other sources. Once QB Desktop supports Win 11, you may upgrade it later. You can still buy the one time license for QBD 2021 from several partners if required.

@Fiat Lux - ASIA I can get QBDT to run on the Windows 11 Pro machine, but two of our Windows 10 Pro machines can't access the Windows 11 machine, although the 3rd one can.  That machine can open the file and write to it, but the other 2 machines get a "you do not have permission to access this networked comptuer" message ("the machine appears to be configured correctly, but the computer is not responding").  All three are set up in exactly the same way, so not sure what the problem is.  I will suggest they downgrade to Windows 10, I guess.  Sad.

    When do you expect QB 2021 Pro to be fully compatible with Windows 11?  When traveling and using my new laptop with Windows 11, I can't email out invoices.

    I see how important for your your business to have Windows 11 compatibility for QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Pro 2021, rjlemi.

     

    At the moment, we're unable to provide a specific timeframe for when this will be implemented. Rest assured Intuit is working to ensure QuickBooks Desktop 2022 products will work as designed with Windows 11. We intend to complete the compatibility certification process soon. It may take some time because our engineers are making sure there will be no problem in the long run. 

     

    For additional info, you may refer to this article: QuickBooks Desktop Microsoft Windows 11 Compatibility. To successfully email invoices, you may use currently supported operating systems for running QuickBooks Desktop Pro 2021:​​

     

    • Windows 10, all editions including 64-bit, natively installed
    • Windows 8.1, all editions including 64-bit, natively installed
    • 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
