There has been one comment already on this and that was a few months ago:

I would still be very interested to have some more recent news on that. If anyone is using Oolite on a current Windows 10 build, let us know what your experience is.

i had to reinstall the OS as the win10 install corrupted on an update.. it is beta so....

from what i remember i think Oolite ran in compatibility mode for Win 7 or Win 8....cant remember but it did run..

that netbook is single core atom @ 1.6GHz with intel GMA950 graphics.... so it should run easily on a higher spec computer.

Whether Windows 10 will break your sanity, however, is another question entirely.. :mrgreen:

I cant get it to run on Win 10 every time i try and install the game i get a flag saying
Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

Im not a complete dunce but this is beyond my meager PC skills and I did notice that the file is showing as a application not an exe. file

Any help on this would be helpful

(Man i miss XP)

Welcome aboard, Commander! I'm a Win7 holdout, so I can't help - but Oolite should work on WX.
You could try disabling your AV, perhaps - but hopefully someone who knows will be along soon.

According to various reports Windows 11 will be announced next week, so we can start worrying about that now...

I don't understand the technicalities well enough to know what's changing, there are some leaks here focusing on the look of the thing

but not much so far about what's happening under the hood.

Anyone here a beta tester?
