I operate VM software on a five-year-old iMac to run Quickbooks with Windows 10. It has worked well for years, but I lagged many months behind in updating to a new version of Fusion.
Two nights ago, I upgraded to Big Sur. Many messages popped up for missing modules or links. Thinking I could buy and load a new version of Fusion, I (believe) inadvertently choose a free version (is that possible?). It will not run. A message appears saying the software is incompatible with this operating system. Which OS: Windows 10 or Big Sur? I am unable to tell you what version I was running as I have no visibility to that. My goal is to get something operational so I can regain access to the Quickbooks data with years of history.
Tech support (phone) tells me I no longer have support and has provided no help.
Can anyone tell me how to proceed from here?
1. Can I attempt to download yet another version? Which are compatible with Big Sur / Windows 10? Any other advice concerning this approach?
2. Is there a one-time support alternative (none was offered on the call) from VM or elsewhere?
3. How might I find an expert to come to my location and get me back on the road?
4. Any other thoughts?
Thanks for any help you can offer. I am not the sharpest technical tool in the chest.
