Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Running windows 10 via bootcamp on my macbook. Works awesome for all the AIM software. That's all I have experience with.

Aim Studio Analysis stopped connecting to my home computer after I upgraded to Windows 10. Robbie spent a lot of time with me to no avail. I tend to think this is an isolated incident.

Windows 10 has been very stable in my experience. No worries.

No problems with all those on multiple Win10 installs. On TraqStudio, you will have to run in compatibility mode for the headers not to be blacked out.

I had some issues getting Win10 to run MoteC i2Pro on my new MB Pro via BootCamp (thanks to Dave Ferguson we got it going). Was resolved by getting it to run in emulation mode. That all happened a few months back so I'll likely try running normally when I get a chance to make some changes/

Strange, Tom. You, Scott and I have exactly the same (new) hardware. I have used i2 Standard and Pro through two releases since I got mine in December, running Win10 Pro on Boot Camp, with zero issues. Twenty-plus weekends and in between time, too. Driver problem? What was compatibility mode supposed to fix?

I simply would not run i2Pro. I don't recall the specifics but I tried removing a re-installing i2Pro a couple times. Dave Ferguson and I spent an hour or more on the phone trying different things with the Registry files and in the end the only way we could get it to run was to run it in compatibility mode (for Win8, IIRC). It has run fine since.

Now that I'm back from nearly 3 months in Italy, I'm turning my attention to getting my track stuff in shape (among other tasks). I may well revisit the issue with the latest i2Pro update.

Opened Windows for the first time in 4 months today. Let it do any software updates, rebooted and then loaded the latest version of i2Pro. Then went to properties and disabled compatibility mode. i2Pro now runs fine as a 64 bit app in Win10 Pro. I really wonder what the issue was back when I first loaded it.

you'll be fine...

I am running Windows 10 under Parallels. Works fine.
Not crazy about Win10 itself, but I'm a OSX & LINUX bigot.

I did find I needed to set Win10 to Tablet mode to get the visuals readable. Thats more my adult eyes than anything else.

No need to run Bootcamp. Parallels fires up quickly, share with OSX and performance is excellent. Even run multiple VM's at the same time..

One nice feature with latest Parallels is Linked VM's. You can create a VM linked to a base VM instead of a full clone. Shares base files and the Linked VM only has preferences, deltas etc. Lets me keep a VM for my radio programming files, one just AIM and other VM's for experiments such as Beta versions of whatever. No cross program pollution. You can do this without taking up gobs of space as you might with full clones. And I can run them concurrently. Often do.
