Highbury\'s Ghost Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 i'd like to know the answer to that too. If I put my brave trousers on tomorrow I might partition my data drive and find out. Also want to check out Win7 anyway - it's meant to be much better. Because the OS itself is less resource hungry it should mean FM runs better with Win7 than Vista on identical h/w - well that's the theory. So, anyone tried it???? P.S. Just remembered something - it comes with a shell that is XP mimicking - BUT without 3d drivers, so you'd have to run it in 2d in the XP emulator / shell.

pyewackett Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I'm sure there where threads on here when everyone was trying out Windows 7. If I am not mistaken, via some setting in Windows 7 you can run it so it is just like your running the game in Windows XP. As you know how it is, you;ve got older games and/or software that is only supported by an older version of Windows 2000/XP. But I am sure the one's that have tried it has worked, but don't just take my word for it, I am toying with the WIndows 7 route too, as I understand it requires a CLEAN install plus it doesn't include Internet Explorer you'll need that on flash drive or Cd/DVD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brindlefly Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 It runs on windows 7 much better than it does on vista thats for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brindlefly Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 A few not responding issues but if you have used it on vista before then you know a few is better than every time you press anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cockney Hammer Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Mate has it and it works fine for him on windows 7. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gipsy Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Works like a charm on win 7 64 bits... the ME is a bit jerky though... something I did not have when I was running FM 09 on xp... Oh well I suppose that SI will support Window 7 with FM10 and that they will fix this after a few patches Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
saberhagen83 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 It works fine on Win7, had it since the beta and now on RC 32-bit and no problems. Not sure why some seems to have had problems with Vista, had none myself after SP1. Also had a few of the responsive issues, but I had those since Fm08 on XP as well and still have a few of them on Win7. More of a game problem (at least with certain system specs) than the OS it self I'd say. But it's a minor (yet irritating) problem really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
heron Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Running it right now on the 64 bit version of Windows 7 RC. No problems whatsoever. Even better - in Windows 7 I can go fullscreen, while this resulted in a crash when using Vista. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaderspurs Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 For me, the bigger question is: will fm10 be completely compatible with, the then, newly released Windows 7. Any chance of an SI answer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DivineOne Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 fm 2009 is already compatible with win 7, so why would fm 2010 not be? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brindlefly Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 If you mean with jumplists etc, ie the extra windows 7 features, then I doubt it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
