I value how you wanted to stay with your current version, @JKZA.
The information provided by my colleague above is correct. You can continue using your QuickBooks Desktop 2019 as long as your computer meets the system requirement for the said version. Here are the OS requirements for your edition (Windows 7 SP1.8.1 Update 1 or Windows 10 version supported by Microsoft and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 or SP2, 2012 R2, and 2016). Also, you won't be able to utilize the add-ons and online banking service for discontinued versions.
Additionally, you've mentioned that your IT has questions regarding the OS (Operating System) updates. I encourage you to share it on this thread since there isn't any option to connect you to our QuickBooks Desktop Data engineers. We might be able to answer your inquiry without the need to reach them.
If you'd like to know more about QuickBooks Online's suitability and compatibility usage, contact our Sales support to address these questions appropriately.
