Running QB in compatibility mode is the workaround. In our experience, there's no definitive answer until you try it for yourself on your own computer. If you are reluctant to buy a new subscription license for QB Desktop and you are working solo on a desktop (PC or Mac) to manage your book and only need basic features, you should explore a free program. You can use the program for as long as you like, use all the features and enter as much data as required. There are no time limits, no usage limits, no ads (at this time). This program is quite popular in Asia and Europe.
