Microsoft is displaying notifications to Windows 10 users reminding them that official support has ended and recommending an upgrade to Windows 11. Windows 10 will continue to work, but it no longer receives regular free security updates. Find out what this means for your Banana Accounting and which precautions are recommended, if necessary.

 

For those who need more time before upgrading to Windows 11, Microsoft offers the option to receive extended security updates until October 2027, subject to certain conditions.

For more information about the available options, visit the official Microsoft page dedicated to the end of Windows 10 support.

Windows 10 End of Support Notice

What this means for your Banana Accounting

With the end of Windows 10 support, the version of Banana Accounting you are currently using will not stop working.

  • However, without security updates, the risks of security vulnerabilities and potential compatibility issues increase over time.
  • You can check if your PC can upgrade to Windows 11 and start planning a possible upgrade.
  • Make regular backups of your accounting files.

With Banana Accounting Plus you can sleep soundly

If you decide to upgrade to Windows 11 and already have a Banana Accounting Plus subscription, you can continue working with peace of mind. The software is fully compatible and is regularly updated to keep up with the latest technologies.

Protect your data

If you are still using Banana 9 or earlier versions, it’s important to know that these are no longer updated and may not work properly on the latest versions of Windows 10 or on new operating systems such as Windows 11.

To avoid the risk of data loss, due to potential compatibility issues with newer operating systems, we recommend that you switch to Banana Accounting Plus, which is always updated and compatible with Windows 11, macOS, and the latest Linux versions.

In addition to peace of mind, Banana Accounting Plus offers several new features that drastically reduce data entry and review time. 

In the meantime, always make backup copies of your files.

Easy switch to Banana Accounting Plus

Unlike previous versions of the program, such as Banana 9, which are no longer updated, the files created with them remain fully compatible with Banana Accounting Plus, both for reading and writing. When you open the program, you will find your Recent and Favorite files in the new Start page (or simply by opening the file from the File > Open menu); you can therefore immediately resume your work.
