Windows 10

Are we anticipating any issues with RW or HL and the upgrade to Windows 10 at the end of July?

I have been running Realm Works exclusively in a Windows 10 technical preview virtual machine on my Mac for the past several months. I have had no issues at all.

My friend is using the technical preview as his primary OS and he has had no problems with Hero Lab aside from the licence needing to be renewed after each build revision. Lone Wolf has been great about getting him up and running, and that should not be an issue once the official release happens.

Short answer - I don't anticipate it being a problem at all.

I haven't seen any problems with Realm Works on the Windows 10 Preview. I don't run it much, though.

Good to hear. Thanks guys.

I can concur, utilizing a single laptop, w/ windows 10 I have seen no problems other that the licensing update (don't think that really qualifies). My issues with W10 reside outside LWD, RW & HeroLab.. hehe....

I'll be test driving it until release to determine whether to upgrade our table to that OS....

In general FYI
I have had some compatibility issues with Norton (patch supposedly in development) and Java (utilized by my map software).

I'm looking forward to get W10 on my Surface.

Might be good/bad news... on the laptop that I have the early release of Windows 10 they hinted at the possibility that not all Surface machines would be compatible nor receive the upgrade.. I see if I can locate the article.

Since I don't own a Surface, Surface2 or Surface3 I really paid it little attention to the details. IF my memory (very subjective at times hehe) serves the 3 was ok, the others may not be... maybe Parody or the other "Tech savy" forum members have seen something..

For what its worth

I've got a Surface Pro 3. I know I'm good as the update reservation has already popped up and it will prompt me as soon as its available. I'm not sure about the other Surface models. From what I read, any machine that is currently running 7, 8, or 8.1 will get the free upgrade. I don't think anything running the mobile version will get it.

What happened to Windows 9?

Is it the OS they use on Grey 17?

They decided it was toooo similar to Windows ME...

The article I referenced above is located below. Now it may have changed position since January. And as Karpomatic noted it appears those with a Surface3 are safe. Seems support on the RT versions may be at risk.
