Mike, where are you finding that?
https://www.xara.com/uk/designer-pro/:
Xara's Pro+ equally should work for you.Quote:
MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- Microsoft® Windows® Vista® | 7 | 8 | 10
- 64 bit
- Intel® Celeron® or newer, or AMD® Sempron® or newer
- 500MB of RAM
- 300MB of available hard-disk space
Regardless, always download the trial first.

I only got until tonight to upgrade and get the builder included.

Your strapline states "Windows 7 Home premium 64bit .".
If 64-bit then your upgrade will be fine.
Again, download the trial.

Thanks for that ..... will try the trial ..... ...I wanted to but the vegas suite but that needs win 10.......guess i'm gona have to bite the bullet at some stage ....
Mike
you may well be aware win 7 is now out of service:

win 10 is a good operating system but may take some getting used to after 7
you were probably wise to avoid win 8 ;)
Thanks Handrawn I was aware the up dates have stopped ....but my large format printer and plotter are working well with win 7 and it will be a lot of work to put all programs back on and get up and running again ....... oh god I can't face it ....lol.lol.
Mike
:) these thing happen.. good luck with the upgrade when you do it... at least once you have upgraded to win10 you should not need to do it again.. microsoft are not step-changing the operating system any more, it stays win10
Unless it's Windows 10X HD ;)
Ha ha ha Egg.
Mike
except that windows 10X is a completely new operating system
it may have a similar sounding name, it may look sorta similar in places, but it is not windows as in bill gates; it is not an upgrade to the existing OS
microsoft are doing something worthwhile here - rebuilding from the ground up - wish xara would ;)
Windows 10X:
I imagine you would otherwise need to virtualise it.Quote:
Users won't be able to install Windows 10X on a device that didn't come with Windows 10X to begin with. There won't be any official ISO media and you won't be able to buy Windows 10X on its own to install on your existing device. It's for new PCs only.
Acorn
and it may not install on old computers anyway even if you could get an installer, due to hardware requirements [which the visualiser would need to be able to facilitate]
I enjoy the occassional wind-up ;))
and you are appreciated :D:p
