the issue is the turbo tax installation package. it should not be rejecting install if insuffient requirenments. ask the tech team to modifiy the package.  If it finds insufficient requirements it should ask you if you wish to continue not prevent you. All machines have the requirements I had no problem using this machine for the last three years with TurboTax went 2gig RAM was required so please have your software technicians fix this before April please

Those are generic instructions that don't help. Why does the manual install not see all the ram in your system. If I reboot into safe mode it doesn't even see the install. A very unhappy customer.

I used this same notebook last year although it was the Premiere version, no problem. This year Deluxe

 

Bought thru Amazon, should I just contest the charge since I never activated ?
