Windows 8

I think ascom is compatible with windows 8.

Can anyone tell me if the QHY5v, PHD and Backyard eos are also compatible?

thanks

Backyard EOS runs on my main laptop and i upgraded that to WIN8 a while ago when MS gave it to me for £14.99!!

Can't help with the other two I am afraid. I would suggest give it a go, see what happens and then update the forum...

I had windows 8 but found it wouldnt work with the QHY5 and PHD, its a driver issue so have reverted back to Windows 7

Windows 8 is running fine for me, kit in sig. Not got a QHY device though so can't comment.

Might have an issuse there then, hopefuly there will be some updated drivers comming out for the QHY, i presume over the next few years a lot of people will be going onto wndows 8

i have ordered a laptop with that operating system so will report back with what happens

the more advanced windows gets the less it can do, i had to return a printer a while back because for love nor money could i get it to work not even a generic driver was available. windows 8 ???? they havent even finished tweeking 7 yet this time next year microsoft will be churning out a new model every 10 months, just like smart phones.
