Is Windows 10 Good for HyperSpin?

[Warfare]

Hi am thinking of Installing Windows10 x64. Should i stick to Windows 7 or is it ok to upgrade OS. For some reason it feels like some emulators run better on win 10 but there might be problems i am not aware of. Please leave your suggestions and Answers below.

Win10 is fine, the direct x12 support is a plus, i haven't found 1 thing that didn't work with 10 so far

As far I am concerned, HyperSpinHQ is crashing, even under compatibility mode. But I have'nt encountered any problems with HS itself.

agreed, it crashes as well when you browse explorer however the workaround is to manually edit the .ini files with path to overcome this issue. Other than that and Windows defender blacklisting HS and HSHQ exe working fine.

I'd say 10 seems to work even better and smoother than 7 did. Plus you get the necessity of DX12 and the built in Game DVR.

Anyone do a inplace upgrade? Run into any issues?

[j5coat]

I just upgraded my home PC( been working on the hyperspin setup on that one) everything still works great. I had a couple issues with programs( mostly dll files, running a k version no media player installed).

I did and didn't have any problems.

...But I couldn't resist myself and did a clean install after a few weeks.

I just did the normal free upgrade on my cab and computer and both went flawlessly. The only program/file I had to read install was devcon which is something no one else probably even uses.

You will need to re-exempt all your HS & RL files/folders in Windows Defender though.

Yep, I had to do this too. You will also need exemptions for Arcade PC games and I also have it set for my 'ROM Tools' directory. Defender is pretty picky about many programs.

I've had W10x64 Pro since Nov '15 and so far, minimal issues. Don't remember needing to exempt any thing. But HyperHQ doesn't like it. Tends to crash on occasion. All I can say is give it a shot.

Upgraded first week it came out and it kept all my files, no problems whatsoever.

No idea.

It only crashes if you try to change a path. Everything else works fine, so just change path's manually and it's fine.

cut an image of your current hard drive before the upgrade just in case, it its flaky for you after the upgrade you can always restore back using image made. I use acronis with a bootable usb or cd and always have 2 full hdd backups for both of my HS builds. the free upgrade path from win 7 to 10 is valid until July 29, 2016.

I Am Gonna do a Fresh Install of HyperSpin, Dont worry

[Warfare]

Just to update everyone, I have Installed Windows 10 and HyperSpin and it working Amazing! Thanks All for the Anwsers and Suggestions!

You all are giving me the courage to do my in place upgrade soon... will backup my win7 install first of course.

[Agrajag]

I really need to get on with rebuilding my gaming PC and upgrading to W10 while it's still free. It's been out of action for a while as I haven't had time to find out why it keeps bluescreening. Then I moved the graphics card into my main PC so I could get my new 2560x1440 monitor to work. Oh to have a bit more time and money!

Its like HyperSpin runs better on Win 10. You will run into small Problems but nothing Trouble Shooting Compatibility Cant Solve.

I am going to clone my 500gb magnetic disk to a new 500gb ssd then upgrade on the ssd drive. I am taking no chances.

Pfft... Do it the manly way like I did. Just hit the upgrade button without backing nothing up or even closing other programs first.

Computers work better when you show balls!

Are there any compatibility issues in general from Windows 7 to win 10? I have a amd card, graphics card is maybe 4 years old. Nothing special in general. Like it has a hard time playing dead rising for pc sort of thing. If my pc can't handle that game, do you think it will handle win 10? Activex12 does so much for gaming though
