Todd Hi Todd, Sorry I no longer have X6 installed on any of my computers , I am using x11 currently , but I just had a look at HQ for the Sys. Reqs and I think you'd be fine if you are above them, I used to Run it on my Surface 3 but have x8 on it now. chief-architect-x6-download-and-installation-instructions.pdf Someone who would likely know is David Potter (DJP) as he maintain many versions on several computers for support old Clients etc. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/profile/81-davidjpotter/ @DavidJPotter *** you should do your Signature , so people can help you Better.... see mine or Chopsaw's Mick.

Thank you, Chopsaw for answering my question! As for the upgrade question...from what I've come to understand Windows 7 won't be supported much longer.

builtright3 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) I know several people that don't want to give up windows 7. Some claim that it is still the best windows version. I'm not proud of this statement but I always upgrade because I always think I have to have the latest technology whether it's good or bad. Most people leave things alone when their system is working good and I make trouble for myself, but what the heck! Somebody has to be the Ginny pig! My advise would be, if everything is working good I would leave it alone unless you are prepared for the can of worms you could open up from going to windows 10. It could snow ball on you to upgrade other software and hardware. JUST A THOUGHT! FOR WHATS IS WORTH I have never had an issue with CA but I don't know how it will react to other software you have and your computer. Most of the time I think it is fine. You have to weigh out the risk for yourself. Edited March 16, 2019 by builtright3 Clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I upgraded to Windows 10 as soon as it was first available. I run X1-X11 on Windows 10 on a single PC with total smoothness and reliability. If you have a dongle (software lock) you MUST first install upgraded drivers for your dongle for it to work. If no dongle then you just make sure to "deactivate" your license before moving it to your new computer. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

talock Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 Ok, just a little update; I went ahead and installed windows 10 on my windows 7 computer. I am pleased to report it works with no issues thus far and my copy of Chief Architect X6... no issues! Side note, I was able to get Windows 10 for free so that helps. builtright3 I thought you would appreciate that! Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
