I see your interest in installing QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) on your tablet, @suzereno. Let me walk you through installing a trial version on your Surface Pro 7 tablet to verify its compatibility.

To ensure that your QBDT operates smoothly when performing accounting tasks, it's important that your device meets the minimum system requirements.

In the meantime, I recommend installing a trial version of the QBDT to check if the program works well on your device. Refer to this article for the trial install file: Download a trial of QuickBooks Desktop. If it does, you can go to the Downloads & Updates page. Then, select your country, product, and version, and click Download.

After installing, QBDT will prompt you to activate. I'll share this pointer to guide you through the process: Activate QuickBooks Desktop for Windows.

Let me know if you need more help downloading QBDT on your Surface Pro 7 tablet. I'll respond promptly to help you achieve your goal. Stay safe, and have a great rest of the day.

As I know QB Desktop doesn't support to run on tablets natively. You need a 3rd party solution to do so.

Have you used QBDT on a surface pro? I’m looking into it for my business. I’m on the road for my work and it would be great if I could use QBDT while out and about. I’m don’t want to migrate to QBO.

You need to set up a simple private cloud on your premise. You will access your QB Desktop on the browser on your Surface Pro.
