Windows 10 - anyone, anyone?

redwire

Just curious if anyone has tried Allegro/Capture on Win 10 yet and what their experience was?  How about min recommendations for a new laptop? I am really wanting to get onboard with W10 but fear that I will be navigating this alone for a while... Feedback appreciated.

    You could try setting the Application compatibility to Windows 7 but, since Windows 8 needed 16.6 to run correctly, it's likely that you will need to upgrade to 16.6-2015 to run on Windows 10 and that does seem to be fine as far as Capture (CIS), PCB Editor and PSpice are concerned. Since 16.6 is the only available version at present, Cadence are unlikely to announce support for any past versions once they have completed compliance testing for 16.6-2015.
