Windows XP compatible?

[Ungol]

I managed to run the first remaster with no problems on my XP, so will the same happen for this?

[quasardw]

No, it is not compatible or supported, sorry.

[Ungol]

Damn. Then how did it work for my XP with the first game's remaster? It said it could not support it, yet it works like a charm.

different game engine most likely

[quasardw]

The first game was compiled with Visual Studio 2008 and for x86. This game is compiled with Visual Studio 2015, x64 only, and uses some API calls specific to Windows Vista and later. With < 1% of the Steam userbase still on XP, with the operating system itself discontinued and unsupported, and there being very little chance of such systems having performant video hardware, and inability of any of our testers to spend time and resources on separate testing for that OS, a conscious choice had to be made to end compatibility.

Windows 10 can be downloaded for free (legally): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 after a week you'll see a watermark which you can't remove + you can't change the background + some minor customization options. Once you have enough money just input the serial number.

Folks please do not report this thread as "warez" any more; what he says above is true and this is a legal way to trial Windows 10, available directly from Microsoft. Thanks.

lol, people actually reported this for Warez?

Thats some PC illiteracy for you.

In any case
For those that are unaware
You can still use Win7 or Win8 to upgrade to Win10

All you need is your Windows key, and to enter it after Windows has been installed(Skip the key activation) then goto the Activation settings and enter your key.

As long as the key used wasnt previously used to register Win10 on a different system it should work.

Microsoft implemented this some time ago to make it easier for people to upgrade.

I tested it out myself last month when i clean installed my sons PC to Win10 from Win7 using the Win7 key to digitally activate Win10.

And yeah, for the Free version, customization is locked, but aside from that its a fully working OS.

[Ungol]

Wait, is the free version still out? I thought that was a one time deal.

[[☥] - CJ -]

Yeah its still available, they made some changes a while back.
No telling for how long it'll be available for though, but it worked for me last month.
