I don’t believe there is much difference between 12.5 and 12.6 in relation to compatibility with Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. But I could be wrong. The big compatibility issues with v12 and Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 is printing. So if you don’t do any printing, then you won’t notice any major problems with v12 and Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. But if you print then font sizes will be super small. You can add code that will change object font sizes, to like double what they were, and get the printing to work with v12. But if you just upgrade to v13 printing works again and zero code changes are needed. Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 all print correctly. So the simple test is to get v12.6 and Run it on Windows 10 and print something from 4D. If the printout looks great then I am wrong and v12.6 is compatible with Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. But I’m pretty sure it was in v13 that 4D changed to the new Windows printer API that make it compatible.
