Xara and windows 10?

**Daver1** · 26 July 2015, 01:46 PM

Hi, I was wondering how Xara works with windows 10? I was considering getting the upgrade to Xara Pro 11 and wondering of it will have problems with windows 10... Any thoughts or experiences? Dave

Good question. My guess is it will work fine. Xara's developers have had access to the Windows 10 beta as developers and I am confident they are on the case.

Hi,

We don't think there are any issues running any of the Designer 11 variants on Windows 10. If any issues do turn up you can rest assured that we will fix them as soon as possible.

Hope all Xara software will work fine!
Win 10 release date is tomorrow!.

having heard some serious issues regarding the mandatory updates in windows 10 messing things up with third party [eg: nvidia] updates, I am not going to rush into win10 and I am definitely thinking of buying win10 pro which gives some degree of control

this might be useful to some:

Before installing Windows 10 do you have to first deactivate your copy Xara Designer 11, then do the Windows update and finally reactivate the Designer 11. If so are there any instructions on how to do this?
Thanks
