Windows 8 Support
#1
I just got a new windows 8 pc, and even though I hate the interface and still use my old windows 7, is it possible for TW2 to be installed on Windows 8?

Offtopic, has anybody in the community tried/bought Win8?

I don't have Windows 8, but I'm pretty sure TW2 (as well as any CC program aside from MSCC itself) should work just fine on it (assuming it's the full/desktop version of Windows 8 - the "Windows RT" tablet version would not be able to run TW2).

MSCC works just fine on my PC. No, I don't have windows 8 and have no intentions of getting it.

Do you have 64-bit Windows 7? If so, what's the workaround you're using?

I have had no issues running TW2 on a 64 bit OS. It may be an issue with your specific machine.

If you were talking to me, I was actually asking Michael about how he ran MSCC on Windows 7... Not exactly on topic, but what CC Zone thread is... Tongue
