Windows 8 and CD x5

[bill gervais]

Hi all,

Haven't posted in some time but am considering new laptop with Win 8. I am currently using Corel x5 and have no intentions of upgrading to 6. I understand there were issues in beta with x5 running with Win 8. Is anyone running Win 8 with X5? Should I anticipate any issues?

Thanks

I have no idea, but you can probably find out here: http://coreldraw.com/forums/Default.aspx?Sort=Active&PageIndex=1

As an IT guy, I would suggest that you always expect problems when upgrading to a new OS and want to keep your older programs and you should have a back up plan just in case. You can always keep an older computer around to run your x5 on worse case scenario.
