To help you check whether your version of Banana Accounting - especially if it’s an older one - is still compatible with your computer’s operating system, we’ve created a summary table for your convenience.
We’re proud to have so many loyal users, some of whom have relied on Banana Accounting for over 35 years. However, technology evolves rapidly: operating systems are frequently updated, often automatically, which can impact the performance of older software.
For instance, Microsoft has recently announced that starting October 2025, it will no longer provide support for Windows 10. Changes like this may require you to update the tools you use daily to ensure continued compatibility and performance.
