1 - Windows 10 S and Windows 10 Lean are limited to running only applications available through the Microsoft Store. Windows 10 S can be switched out of S mode to allow installation of TaxSlayer Pro, but once switched out of S mode cannot be reverted back to S mode. Therefore, you need to carefully evaluate whether you wish to switch a PC from S mode to full Windows 10. See here for more information.
TaxSlayer Pro should not be installed on any computer with an operating system listed in the "is not supported" list above. Microsoft has ended all support for their operating systems in this list, and therefore the security requirements and/or programming languages used to develop TaxSlayer Pro are no longer compatible with these versions of Windows.
Virtual Machines
TaxSlayer Pro is not supported when running in a virtual machine.
