Currently i am using Windows 8.1 64bit. As we probably all know Microsoft will give free upgrade to Windows 10 for all Windows 7/8.1 users. I plan to do that after official upgrade will be available

But i have question. Anyone was testing how WiTPAE is working on W10. I don`t want to upgrade and find that game is not working properly. Personally i hope game support on new OS will be closer to W7 rather than W8

Microsoft has been committed to trying to make sure as many older programs as possible are compatible with newer versions of Windows.

I haven't tested the game with Windows 10, but I think it will probably be compatible. Probably with some of the quirks seen in Win 7 and 8, but I think it can be made to work.

What quirks are you referring to?

I seem to recall Windows 3.1 was going to allow us to play our games back then.....Was gonna be super..

Still remember making "HiMem" by going into the autoexec.bat/config.sys........

I think I was making $13k annually.............

Gasoline was a rip off at 65 cents..................Wait...it still is but they charge more for it..
