Quickbooks 2009 (or older)

Plugging in... 

If you are a holdout on upgrading your well used, well loved Quickbooks program, Windows 10 has a little surprise for you... Quickbooks 2009 or older, will not run under Windows 10. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever.

You may think it is a ploy from Quickbooks to grab some greenbacks from your wallet, but in fairness to Intuit, they cannot keep re-writing older programs to comply with new operating systems.

This is not an Intuit only situation, many software vendors must decide how to manage their programming resources and allocate them where they best see fit when the operating system they run on changes and their programs are unable to work on them. Sometimes we users get lucky and we can keep using our old software under the new operating system regime. And sometimes, we must pay the piper.


ALWAYS REMEMBER: before calling for help - is it plugged in, is the VERSION compatible, and is it turned on? 

Unplugged
