snapcam Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I have been away from the forum for some time and I was wondering how is the up take of WINDOWS 10 going. Few of my associates have taken the plunge due to reports of various problems and was wondering have PTE users who have WINDOWS 10 found any difficulties with using PTE on the new system. Or any other problems affecting our production of sequences. Snapcam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yachtsman1 Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Hi Snapcam I'm still using W7 Professional 64bit. my theory, if it ain't broke why try to fix it. However, I've just bought a new camera & W7 was down the bottom of suitable OS's. Regards Yachtsman1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orizaba Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 "However, I've just bought a new camera & W7 was down the bottom of suitable OS's." What do you mean by this? I am still using W7 Ultimate 64-bit and no problems at all with PTE 8.0.17 (except problems with PTE itself because of its 32-bit structure. When the 64-bit native?), but I can not see any relation of cameras with Windows OS's. Regards, Jose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contentawarephil Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Jose, I have three PCs - one running XP, one running W7 and the other W10. I have not experienced any problems with the W10 pc. However, I have never updated a pc from the OS which came with it from new.

snapcam Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Thanks Guys, I have been asked the question as there was a problem a few months ago when Windows 10 was found to corrupt SD cards when trying to transfer sound files to the computer with 10 installed. Windows were aware of this and promised a fix. I know some folk had problems when it first downloaded with some programmes not working.

Contentawarephil Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 It sounds like you need someone to try that specific test on a PC that has been upgraded from Wx to W10? Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Jose Hi Jose The software with the camera said it was suitable for W7, W8 & W10, it didn't mention anything before W7. Eric Yachtsman1.

tom95521 Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I have upgraded all my Windows 7/8 PCs because I was tired of getting daily alerts about the free upgrade and I didn't feel like blocking the alerts. No problems with PTE 8. My primary operating system is now Linux (Fedora 23 xfce). I remote desktop into a Windows box if I need to run a Windows program (not PTE). Maybe when PTE 9 is released I will start using Windows again. I also have a couple of Kangaroo portable PCs running 24/7 that have Windows 10 home pre-installed on them that I use for web browsing and monitoring security cameras.

JudyKay Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 I have upgraded or helped upgrade 8 computers so far. Every single one of the 8 upgrades had some problem. All were minor problems, except one Bluetooth problem which never has been resolved. I still have not upgraded Daddy's computer (He is in a different country, so I cannot do it in person), because he is older and I am not there to fix whatever is certain to go wrong. Having said that, I personally like Win10 very much and think it worth the upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Yachtsman1 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Thanks Ken but I'd already done that, I just wanted a simple explanation of the bullet points of difference. Regards Eric Yachtsman1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
