Family Historian v.4 & Windows10
« on: Monday 09 October 17 13:14 BST (UK) »
I have a copy of Family Historian v.4 that I no longer use as after a hard drive crash + new computer a few years ago, I went back to Brother's Keeper which I've used for years.  I also have the A4 user manual.

Does FH v.4 work with Windows10, as I'm thinking of putting the whole lot on Freecycle or up for sale.

It looks as though v.4 will run on Windows 10 - see the 5th question "Do all previous versions of Family Historian run on Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, and Vista – including 64-bit versions?" on this page:

Meaburn, Mennile/Meynell, Metcalf(e), Palliser, Robinson, Rutter, Shipley, Stow, Wilkinson

Another way use VM ware player to instal (say)XP on the computer and then run the program in a virtual environment.
