Title: Family Historian 3.0
Post by: jillruss on Monday 17 February 20 17:52 GMT (UK)

I have Family Historian 3.0.

My PC is old and operates on Windows Vista. Its looks very much as if I am going to have to buy myself a new PC which will of course operate on Windows 10.

Can anyone tell me if my FH programme will still be okay with Windows 10?

indicates that FHv3 does run on Windows 10

Thanks for that. I did try googling it but didn't find anything. I'm sure it won't necessarily be plain sailing but at least I know I don't have to buy an updated version of FH as well as a new PC!!

From reading the thread the poster had a couple of minor problems but running Family Historian with administrator privileges seemed to cure them ( in Windows 10 just right click on the program icon and click on "Run as Administrator")
