I'm about to get a new editing desktop to replace my old "sandy bridge era" one, which is becomeing a little long in the tooth. But still runs PD14 reasonably well, editing wedding and event stuff.

Been using win7 Pro 64bit!

Should I stick with win7, or have the windows 10 glitches "reported here" been ironed out?

I intend to keep the old machine running with win7, so will have to buy a new OS any way.

I've done a search on this board, but cant find anything positive about win10, so far!!!!!!!

Any advise?

rattlinjack:

I upgraded to PD14 last December (a year ago), when I upgraded my computer from Windows 7 Pro x74 SP1 to Windows 10 Pro x64, via a clean install. PD13 was having issues with Windows 10.

I have had absolutely no issues working with PD14 and Windows 10. I have not upgraded to PD15 because it does nothing new that I need to do, so I am happy with my PD14 Ultimate and Windows 10 Pro x64 combination for video editing.

Just my experience. Have a great day.

I just burned my 1st DVDs using Win 10 and PD 14. I cannot play them on either of my computers that have Windows 10. I burned 2D Disk, AVHD DVD 4.7 GB. They play fine on the TV.

When I try to load the DVD it asks to search for an app to open the BDMV file. I googled the BDMV file extension and it appears to be a Blue Ray extension.

Any advice on how I can watch these DVDs on the computer?

Your issue is different from the original poster’s question. They play fine on your tv with a BD player as you have found.

You need a BD software player such as PowerDVD to play that created avchd disc on the pc. You can download the trial version and use it free for 30 days.

I'm using both PD12 and PD14 on this computer, running Windows 10. I haven't had any issues, even though I don't think PD12 is certified for Win10. There may be some esoteric stuff that'd give problems, but I haven't run into any yet. Regards,

Thanks for the replys!

Gave me the confidence to go ahead and assemble a new Desktop running win10, very smooth so far.

Just playing with it now!!! Merry xmas to me, from me!!!!

Just a modest system, but PD14 runs smooth, even without a dedicated graphics card. Waiting for GTX960
