Did you ever figure out what the problem was in opening the file? I know I am running FH MX on my new Dell XPS 13" laptop no probs at all, and not having issues opening any of my old FH files from my windows 7 desktop. At first a few custom fonts disappeared like two times but after reinstallin...

An UPDATE: I have moved from my windows 7 desktop to a new windows 10 laptop and I wanted to post an UPDATE here in case it is of use to anyone wandering along here: It's now Sept 27 2020. Sept last year (2019) I bought a Dell XPS 13" laptop with windows 10 Home, and hooked to it a dock and int...

I started this thread in 2012 when i was moving from a windows XP desktop to a windows 7 desktop. FH made that jump just fine. It's now 8 years later, 2020. I have now moved from my windows 7 desktop to a new windows 10 laptop and I wanted to post an UPDATE here in case it is of use to anyone wander...

Has anyone yet tried running their FH 11 (MX) on a Surface laptop2 or a Surface Pro yet? (both run windows 10). I know it likely wouldn't work well on a little Surface Go since that has no graphics card, but wondering if I should get a surface laptop or Pro (which I know i can connect to my desktop ...

Thank you Mark. I believe I did that a couple years ago, so perhaps I needn't worry so much about that particular issue then. I'm bookmarking this thread for when I need to switch to Windows 10. BTW We are still earning our living fulltime doing patent drawings on FH, on both Mac and PC. FH is PERFE...

Thank you so much!! That is reassuring.

-The last couple of posts in that link you gave do seem a little worrisome though. (!)
Hoping I can keep my win 7 machine running at least a couple more years now.

It's now July 2018 and I'm still on Windows 7 Pro. My FreeHand MXa (11) works great on my win 7, but soon I'll need to get a new win...

I can't answer your question, since I am about to go from windows XP to win 7, but.... considering that win 8 is supposed to be a complete overhaul of the windows operating system, I would have serious doubts as to whether FH would work on it. But I too will be interested in seeing someone test that...

Pixero, thank you so much! My worries are less now when ordering my new PC next week.
