Title: Family Historian v.4 & Windows10
Post by: bitty_matriarch 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.

[Seriously downsizing as retirement looms]

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:

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