Versaworks and Windows 10

[ImpactSignCo]

Anyone have any idea about any compatibility issues with Versaworks and Windows 10? Sounds like we might be upgrading our computer for design and rip/print and I can't find anything online with a quick search. Should I backtrack all the way down to Windows 7?
Thanks for the advise.

I just got a custom computer built hopefully picking it up in a few days I had them put win 7 pro on it, but I think I might set up dual boot so I can run 7 and 10. Sorry my response wasn't about vw.

I have it running on 10, I have had no problems. FYI I have not run it on any other OS.

I usually suggest if there is concern about compatibility with programs, run the new OS (or OS in question) in a VM and then try to run your programs on it.

I do believe MS does allow for a near functionality try out of the new OS. Run it in a VM and see what you come up with, before you commit to a physical install.

How do you go about doing that?

If you are talking about running an OS in a VM, the cheapest way is to get VirtualBox for whatever OS you are running now. Get the Windows 10 ISO from MS website. Might have to make it a bootable ISO. Install and run VirtualBox, create a file linking to the Win 10 ISO and install normally, just within VirtualBox.

I have attached a screenshot to show what my rig is like. Lenova P500 running Fedora 22 as the host and on the Cintiq running a VM of Win 7 using VirtualBox. This is my production rig, so that's how I actually run my setup.
