It would be great if many of the regular forum members could indicate in the poll below which operating system(s) they use on their main Home/Preparation computer. Whether that computer comes with you to gigs, or stays at home, it would be really good to know who is using which operating systems.

Oh andā¦ Voting wiseā¦ What was the āOtherā Operating system that was voted for ?

Does Engine Prime support 32-bit Windows? Engine Prime currently only officially supports Windows 8 and Windows 10, which are almost exclusively 64-bit. Because of this, we are currently only supporting 64-bit Windows platforms.
Does this include windoes 8.1?
Yes.windows 8.1 is covered. Only 64 bit
Well, Iām not going to update my Windows machine past Win7, nor my Mac past Yosemite (itās the last OS to run ScratchLIVE flawlessly). So far, Engine Prime is running fine wā the Win7 (64bit) machine, as well as wā the Mac (64bit) running (10.10) Yosemite.
Win10 & Sierra are wack for a number of reasons.
I run Win 7 also, no problems with Egine Prime.
The architecture of Win 7 is similar to Win 8 and 10, there is no real reason 7 cannot be officially supported. As long as you are using the 64 Bit version.
Appreciate there are countless software and hardware configurations, that could cause issues. But that is true with any system.
Support for Win7 is scheduled to be discomtinued in or around 2020 from Microsoft , quote me if I am wrong ?
There are still many companies using Win7, my last company only went over to it in 2013. Have got around 16,000 PCās worldwide.
Win10 is getting there, though I still hear of compatibility issues, especially with audio equipment.
Win7 had the same issues in the early days, but has become very stable over time.
Win10 will get there.
