Compatibility with Windows 8.1

Unread post by nancyTRESS »

Hi,
Im using Version 5.6.0 Build 1360 on Windows 7, but im goin to migrate to Windows 8.1, but I cant find anything about the Compatibility of the version 5.6.0 with Windows 8.1.
I'm worried if im goin to experiment some issues with this version, or my best choice is to change to the latest version of H&M.

Can you you help with some info? :oops:

Hi Nancy,

Not to worry, Help & Manual 5 runs fine on Windows 8.1. Go for it. 8)

By the way, if you find that you miss working with the Start menu on Windows 8 I strongly recommend installing the Start8 and ModernMix packages from Stardock, which just cost $5 each:

Start8 gives you a real Start menu again, which is pretty essential for accessing your programs and doing searches without wasting crazy amounts of time. ModernMix is not so important, but it lets you use "Modern" programs in windows rather than having them occupy the entire screen as they would on a tablet.
