Running SIMS on Win10

[SimpleSi]

The Dark Lords recently upgrade Sims on bursar's machine (small primary) but said they couldn't do it on the 2nd laptop we use as it was win10 as that we wern't to use it until April upgrade

 

Any REAL reason that I can't carry on using the Win10 machine (like it'll corrupt the database or something!)

There's a bunch on here that use it, but don't think you'll get any 100% answers as always a chance something' toast in it

 

End of day if you're been using it already pre-upgrade and not had a problem you shouldn't really as you carry on as you already had that "risk" of it breaking, but obviously each to their own

Been using it on Windows 10 since the early beta's.

 

All it means is that Capita have the right to refuse support should you have any issues with it on that machine.

I haven't had any problems with it. Though I won't put it on any mission critical machines until its officially support by Capita as I know if we have to contact our LA sims support team the first thing they will say is its not supported.

The only issue I've heard of is viewing the reports in the new browser.

Funnily enough, just had a remote session with the LA and they didn't mind it being on Win 10 at all

its only only for the part-time 2nd sec to do registers and stuff like that - thanks everyone

i use it on my windows 10 machine regularly deployed through SOLUS 3 and for what i use it for i use it without any issues.

 

There must some quirks still with it as capita do not support windows 10 yet. the problem you face is if you do have any problems with SIMS on a w10 machine they will just tell you they do not support it rather than help you

I think there's issues with SIMS and Office 2016, exporting reports and such. But SIMS seems to be working fine for me on Windows 10.
