Christiena Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I have no desire to upgrade from Windows 7. Will Affinity continue to be able to be used on Windows 7 or are there plans to scrap support for this in the coming months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christiena Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 Thank you, Dan. That does help. There's still breathing room for me to learn about and decide on which options for running this software will work best for me. I was looking into dual boot (I'm a greying newb) and then started learning about virtual machines. Beginner question - will this software run on a virtual machine? Being able to test options will help me to decide whether to get another computer with Windows 10 or make the move to Mac. This has the makings of a very interesting learning curve...

Staff Dan C Posted January 15, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 15, 2020 No problem at all The app can technically run on a virtual machine and we occasionally use this process for testing - however we certainly don't recommend running the apps in this environment as it can lead to issues we haven't specifically tested for etc. If you're using a virtual machine to simply gauge the OS etc with a trial of the app, I see no reason why this shouldn't work, but please note that performance will not be representative in a virtual machine compared to a physical system. I recommend (if possible) visiting an Apple Store if you'd like to fully test Mac OS, as most display machines have our apps installed - although this can't be guaranteed!
