Emdat compatibility - sm


Posted: Mar 25, 2014

My work PC crashed last week.  I am trying to find a PC to with Windows 7 since that is what I am currently using (well, was using) and I know it is compatible.  All I am finding locally is Windows 8.  They don't have anything running Windows 7 in stock.  I don't have a lot of time to wait around to have one shipped to me.  I have tried asking IT, but I still have not heard from them.

Is Windows 8 compatible?

Windows 7 - nn

I'm not sure about Emdat and Windows 8, but there are plenty of places that still sell computers with Windows 7 on them. Yes, you would probably have to have it shipped, but with overnight or express shipping, depending on what time of day it is ordered, you could have it the next day. I just got an email from HP stating they had Windows 7 computers. I know HSN has them and QVC would probably have them as well. Tiger Direct might be a good source to look as well. Good luck -- from what I have heard about Windows 8, glad I have my Windows 7 computer.

Thank you for your reply. - OP

IT finally sent a reply late yesterday evening. It is compatible with Windows 8, so I went ahead and picked up my new PC. I have been running Emdat pretty much all day today with no problems. In fact, it is faster than what I am used to with Windows 7.
