I have windows 10, and widelands work perfectly on it. Under a definition of "perfect" meaning "with no more bugs than in other operating systems", of course. Top Quote |

From my point of view: Windows 8 & Windows 10 are not better than Windows 7. That is for standard PC & Laptop. For devices with touch screen- can be different. I was working on Windows 8 and it was horrible. On my PC I upgraded win 7 to win 10 and some things were broken (It took 2 days to fix the system). Now I went back to Windows 7 and I am happy for that . Of course you can have different fellings einstein13 |

In my experience, if you have windows 7, keep it. if you accidentally "upgraded" it to 8 (downgraded would be a better term, really) then go to 10. windows 10 is slower and less stable than windows 7, but it's much better than 8. Top Quote |

As an user (18h per day) of some Windows OS, and as an ex-computer-repairman, i confirm Win7(6.1) is way far better than Win8(6.2) and Win10(6.3). Top Quote |

The general consensus is that if you have any level of computer skill, 7 is better than 8 and 10; I agree with that consensus. Top Quote |

I agree that Win 10 is absolutely rubbish, and I have never tried Win 7. However, with trunks on 64 bit build only I invested in a Win 8.1 64 bit machine to play. Windows "upgraded" to 10, I tried it for no more than 30 minutes, and went back to 8.1. In fairness 8.1 isn't that bad ... it can be a little slow sometimes, but with tweaks (to make it look and work like XP) I don't have much to complain about. Whilst I was dragged screaming from XP nothing short of death will convince me to move to 10 again. Top Quote |

Please don't spam. This is a widelands forum and your personal preferences of any OS flavor doesn't matter at all and no OS is rubbish. Widelands supports MacOS X, Windows >= 7and (nearly all) Linux flavors. If you have trouble running widelands on any of these ask here in the forums or open a bug report. The inital question was answered. Top Quote |
