At some stage in the undefined future I will get a notification that my Windows 10 has arrived, by which time I will have to do my backup etc all over again. :-( or just download the iso from microsoft. I wasn't aware that this was possible. Thank you. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

It's astonishingly inconvenient. it's also astonishingly wrong. click on the system requirements tab for whichever version you have (not that it matters since they're all the same): http://spyder.datacolor.com/portfolio-view/spyder5express/ http://spyder.datacolor.com/portfolio-view/spyder5elite/ http://spyder.datacolor.com/portfolio-view/spyder5pro/ Windows 7 32/64, Windows 8.0, 8.1 32/64, Windows 10 32/64 Mac OS X 10.7, 10.8, 10.9, 10.10 That was true until a few weeks ago. The non-performance of the file management software has obviously caught the 'help' staff by surprise. It affects both Spyder 4 and Spyder 5 and I suspect it will also affect Spyder 3. Maybe its an example of how far you can push things withot being sued. there is no basis for a lawsuit here either. Until you know what changes have been made and why, you have no basis for saying that. if a company wants to make something win10 or later or win8 or later, that's their choice. it might be very dumb, but it's completely legal. I suspect you are attributing the problem to DataColor. In fact, I strongly suspect they are using well established code and the problem arises from something that Microsoft has done. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

I don't think this is Datacolor's fault. Probably true. But somebody here made a general statement that is, to say the least, inaccurate, and one that clearly applies to all companies. applies to all privately held companies. -- PeterN |

It affects both Spyder 4 and Spyder 5 and I suspect it will also affect Spyder 3. that sounds like a bug which will be fixed, unless it's something specific to your system which they can't reproduce. bugs are not the same as being incompatible. the specs say it's compatible with win7 and later, so whoever told you it's not compatible with win7 is wrong. |
