What versions of Starry Night software will work on a 64 bit machine with Windows 7 Professional?
Would like to be able to purchase the software but limited to use of Win 7 for my other applications that will not work in Win 10.
Thanks for the assistance!!
Mike
Hi Mike,
Starry Night 8 is runs on Windows 10.
Sorry, Windows 7 is not supported.
Thank you for the input!!

Mike, just a thought for you...
I assume you determined that your win7 programs do not run in windows 10 compatibility mode...(or maybe you really consider win 10 to be a plague, which I can respect ;-)
but, just in case your windows 7 dependent programs are not heavy gpu driven ray-tracers or something...have you considered converting your win7 box to a vhd or vhdx file run as a VM in windows 10? especially if your win7 license is not tied to your motherboard hash...
hyper-v comes with windows 10 pro editions...usually you can just make a vhd image of your win 7 or win xp box then boot that in hyper-v...
I did this with XP machines that had difficult to install ipc control interfaces...took some effort in my case (mostly because I wanted to shrink the partition size to keep the vhd file small as possible) but was so much easier to manage afterwards because if anything every got corrupted I just deleted the corrupted image and copied over a backup vhd (or vhdx)...plus the IPC control once stuck on a physical old XP machine became 'portable' I could run it from any machine with hyper-v.so hardware upgrades became fast & easy :-)
you could see if the microsoft sysinternals disk2vhd tool works smoothly in your case...or if your win 7 programs & licenses are easy to re-install then you could just install them into a clean win7 installed to a vhdx via hyper-v.
just some ideas if you had not already considered them...( I still love win XP I just keep it it in a portable VM & even run it from a fast tiny USB drive...)
