Windows 8 or 8.1 - will SF run OK?
Posted: Sun Jan 05, 2014 9:12 am
I'm returning to Swordfish after a break to discover my 9 year old PC is creaking and I need to buy a new one.
Sadly all PCs now seem to have Windows 8 or 8.1.
I'm worried about:
a) How to transfer my Swordfish to a new W8 / W8.1 PC.
b) If SF will work (I guess also with a suitable USB/Serial converter).
I've searched Forum for "Windows 8" and "System Requirements".
I find numerous Windows 7 but not 8.
The Forum search routine can't seem to do a logical AND so search results provide me with all 'Windows' results - that needs modernising.
Surprisingly there appears to be no 'System Requirements" section in Wiki.
And nothing that is obvious in Mecanique/Compilers/Swordfish.
So, will SF run under W8 or W8.1?
Can I move my SF or do I have to re-buy?
If there is an obvious page with all this info then please point me and I promise to get some new specs.
If there isn't anything then maybe there should be.
