Hi Andy,

I have tested and it works on Windows 10 without a problem. However I soon went back to Windows 7 from Windows 10 and I had full 10 before anyone else. I would say if you have not already stick to Windows 7 for at least six months before upgrading and beware regarding old technology as some of the drivers will not work with it. I will give an example a soundblaster live card is abandoned now and will not work on Windows 8 onwards.

Regards

Mark

So it did work fine, right mark.  You just went back to win 7 for the driver issue.   Im just asking b/c i ordered an all in one pc for the kids and it brings win 10.  Im hopping it works so that i can install etouch and they can use it while doing there chores.

Yep it works just as it does on Windows 7, I changed back due to drivers and also the fact that Windows 10 is not yet stable. At first my system ran fast I was very impressed however it started to go to a crawl, I done a system restore back two days and that fixed the problem. I am almost tempted to go back onto Windows 10 when it stabilizes a bit but at the moment I am enjoying a trouble free Windows 7 again. The only reason why I recommend upgrading to Windows 10 is for xbox and also if you have touch screen, apart from that Windows 7 will have at least virus updates till 2020 and then go the way that XP done, so really any XP users if you can get on to Windows 7 now while you can (Drivers permitting).

Regards

Mark

This was supposed to come with windows 7 they called it palladium.

Something about it here,

I am unsure what happened with it but it sounds like an update to that. Even my VB 6 is licensed although not supported on 7, I guess they could stop me using it on 10 If i could even get it running. Luckilly I have 5 more years on 7 by which time this project could be closed.
