Hi,
As title says in a few days (probably Sunday) I am getting a new laptop with Windows 8 preinstalled. Since this is not an update I can't use the sticky (yes I saw it).
Currently I am using a Windows 7 laptop and my HM2 version is 2.0.0.7932 (this is on purpose since I had major issues with updates and this version works and is stable). This laptop will be wiped and no longer have HM2 etc. so no double license.
I don't have any experience with Win 8 but had no choice but to take it with the computer since Win 7 for some reason doesn't work properly on it (driver issues with graphic card if I understood correctly). Win 8 is legal etc.
I backed up my database and settings, namely Config, Filters and Reports folders, some filters and custom HUDs.
Current machine had some problems with Microsoft NET.Framework etc. so your support guy installed a newer version etc. and then my license somehow got screwed up and hilarity ensued. I have no idea what is installed on the new laptop, if anything and I would rather not have a repeat of the whole painful process.
Questions:
1) Win 8 - Are there any known problems with it and if yes any workarounds? I want to set this up ASAP.
2) I suppose I need to reset the license keys for the new machine, correct?
3) Since all backups I made are with 7932 version, will they work with newer ones?
4) In case of trouble with the newest HM2 version, can I get the 7932 install file?
