Windows 10 compatibility

Richard Piller — Fri, 31 Jul 2015 12:59:40 +0000

This week Microsoft released Windows 10.

Candy

We have tested Candy and it works well in both the 32- and 64-bit versions. We expect this to be our preferred operating system by year end.

The Windows 10 Home version is not generally encouraged, since the Home versions of Windows do not support full networking capability.

BuildSmart

BuildSmart requires Internet Explorer as its host, and this is supplied with Windows 10. There should be no compatibility problems.
