Hi there, Lyndaday.
I can share some information about QuickBooks Desktop compatibility.
Having the correct operating system, hardware, and software ensures that your QuickBooks version runs seamlessly. There are various things that need to be considered when looking at the system requirements. It looks like Microsoft Surface devices use Windows 10 and are optimized for 64-bit versions, which are compatible with QuickBooks Desktop.
You can try installing a trial version first to check if everything is working well on your new computer. Additionally, since the Microsoft Surface series doesn't have a built-in CD/DVD drive, you may need to download the installer directly from our website.
Lastly, I encourage reading this article to help find out what your computer needs for the best QuickBooks experience: System requirements for QBDT 2021.
You can always find me here if you have any other concerns or follow-up questions. Have a pleasant day ahead.
