Let me share some information about the operating system, JCS21.
At this time, no supported version of QuickBooks Desktop (Pro Plus, Premier Plus, Pro, Premier Enterprise, or Accountant) is certified as fully compatible with Windows 11. If you plan to use Windows 11, your company file will likely open and may be used, however, there may be some unexpected issues with your QuickBooks software. Here are the currently supported operating systems for running QuickBooks Desktop:
- Windows 10, all editions including 64-bit, natively installed
- Windows 8.1, all editions including 64-bit, natively installed
- Windows Server 2019, Standard and Essentials
- Windows Server 2016, Standard and Essentials
- Windows Server 2012 R2, Standard and Essentials
- Windows Server 2012, Standard and Essentials
We’ll share any new information here and when the compatibility certification process is complete. Here's an article you can refer to for more details about QuickBooks Desktop Microsoft Windows 11 compatibility.
On the other hand, using the Mac version of QuickBooks is different from the Windows version. You'll want to install the Parallel App. Parallels Desktop is a Mac OS application that allows you to run Windows on Mac. You can reach out to an IT guy that will help you install it and how it works. Feel free to use these links:

I appreciate your reply. I do in fact intend to run Desktop 2021 on my Mac, using Parallels and Win11. I have no issues right now with either Parallels, or my installed version of Win11 for any other programs. I recognize that QB is to yet supported on Win 11, whether in Parallels or native to a PC. Just wanting to see if anyone had tried the config I am suggesting with any success. Mac OS 12.1 > Parallels V17 > Windows 11 > QB Desktop 2021.
Thanks!
