HR Block 2019 and 2020 do not work after updating to Windows 10 on a Mac using VMWare

I have run HR Block Business software for years on Windows 7 using VMWare on my MacBook. I upgraded to Windows 10 when Windows 7 reached end of life using the Microsoft site free tools and now the HR Block software installed but would not start up, giving a "fatal error" message. I then purchased a Windows 10 license thinking the free update may have been faulty, and again the HR Block software would not run.


I called HR Block, sent them the detailed error message and they had no clue. I called VM Ware and they pointed the finger at Apple. I called Apple and they tried but could not help. It appears to all concerned that it is aWindows issue.


Unfortunately, HR Block 2020 will not run on my old Windows 7 & drive and the 2019 version which ran fine on Windows 7 last year, required an udate and no longer runs on the old drive either. The tax software is literally the only Windows app I use, so updating to a new machine is not an option that I am willing to consider.


Any suggestions?
