Quickbooks 2010 on Windows 10


YES! 

Quickbooks 2010 runs on Windows 10.

 I am no fan of Intuit, did I say that out loud?  Its true, from grad school days where a VC spoke and said, "we will not invest in a company running on Quickbooks."  

If you are not running payroll, and you believe the following to be true:  1+1=2, then there is no need to waste money with Intuit upgrading Quickbooks.  Despite what you may have read online... blah-blah-blah Windows 10 and the demise of Flash Quickbooks 2015 and below are no longer supported.  NOT TRUE!

Installing QB 2010 is as simple as 1-2 (that's it, no 3)

  1. Prepare Windows 10
  2. Install Quickbooks (QB)
    • To avoid the QB installer from checking for pre-requisites, install QB using the quickbooks.msi installer, install using the Windows troubleshooter.
      • Browse your install cd to the Qbooks folder, right click quickbooks.msi



You are done!
