I guess what I’m really asking is do I need Win 11 to run the latest desktop software?

I run it on W11. I also have a backup computer with W10 and it runs without any problem.
I still use version 8.1.5.2 64-bit on both systems. I never install immediately the latest version.
I think that half of the world is still on W10 instead of W11.

If you want support - run it on W11.

Just upgrade! I remember when people were still trying to hold on to Windows XP and Vista.

Actually, it doesn’t say you have to use Windows 11. All the minimum requirements listed are on Windows 10.
