Just tip over my coffee over my laptop, couldn't make it work?
If I buy a new laptop, do I need to have window 11 pro? Or is it ok to buy just widow 11?
System requirements for ProSeries, Fixed Asset Manager, and Document Management System (intuit.com)
Looking at all the other practitioner posts on things not working with Windows 11 and ProSeries, I just bought a new computer with Windows 10. Maybe when Windows 12 comes out ProSeries will have everything with Windows 11 working.
that is my goal.. go from Win 10, which is working great for me right to WIN 12. Also a few years ago microsoft stated they would no longer be numbering their updates.. it would be regular updates to WIn 10 but they obvlously changed their mind.. Probably the PC makers pushed them to go back to numbering to generate new PC sales.
I'm sure your question has already been answered correctly. That said, I share office space with accountants and have worked in IT for more than 30 years. The current minimum configuration we use for any profession that requires compliance and security is:
Windows 11 Professional
12th generation Intel CPU
512G SSD Storage
16G Ram Memory
We also recommend, (not mandatory but highly recommended), a local encrypted backup process in addition to encrypted cloud backup. This can sometimes be accomplished by adding a second SSD to a new laptop which is then offloaded to a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device as well as a secure cloud based storage facility. We use cloud managed corporate routers and separate WiFi access points to simplify troubleshooting and provide a higher level of stability and security. We use a corporate level anti-virus and anti-malware package. Additionally, (and we believe this is important), is to create local logon to devices separate from Microsoft logons. This is done during initial setup as people sometimes need full access to "everything" separate from their Microsoft account, and this is especially true in the event of a major device failure. BitLocker is also important and the professional version is required in order to utilize BitLocker.
