Designer1 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Windows 11 will be launched at the end of the year. The question is whether Affinity Designer, Publisher and Photo will remain compatible with Windows 10 if you have bought Affinity in the Windows Store?

IanSG Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 As I understand it, changes to the MS Store are to enable different packaging technologies to be used, as well as the current one. I assume this means that Serif won't be forced to make changes that would cut off Win 10 users.

ScottHall Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 My understanding is that the Microsoft Store will become Google Android based similar to how the Microsoft Edge browser is now based on Google Chrome. So, will the current Affinity Windows apps still work once upgraded to Windows 11? Testing needs to be done. Windows 11 is currently available for download and will be pushed to all current Windows 10 computers in October or November. Might this mean that the Windows Affinity apps could be run on Android tablets as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MS Store will be able to access the Amazon app store, but I don't think it could be described as "Android based". 8 hours ago, ScottHall said: So, will the current Affinity Windows apps still work once upgraded to Windows 11? Testing needs to be done. I expect it to be like any major OS upgrade - there'll be problems, but current s/w should carry on working. 8 hours ago, ScottHall said: Windows 11 is currently available for download and will be pushed to all current Windows 10 computers in October or November. We're back to "understandings", but is that an official download? MS have said Win 11 is planned to be released "around the holiday season" but they haven't announced any dates. <edit> To be clear, MS haven't announced any release dates. 8 hours ago, ScottHall said: Might this mean that the Windows Affinity apps could be run on Android tablets as well? No. Some Android apps will be able to run via Intel's Bridge technology, but that doesn't mean Windows apps will be able to run under Android.

I also received notice that Windows 11 is available but I certainly will NOT upgrade if it breaks or slows my Affinity apps. Windows 11 looks very nice (much like mac, which I miss) but I'll stay away in order to keep system running quick & smooth. Waiting and watching.

I have it on Surface Pro 7 and no compatibility problems with Affinity apps so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
