My boss just asked me about Windows 8. He wants to get me a new laptop. And is still confused about the os.
Can VS2010 be installed on windows 8? because VS2012 can be installed in windows 7.
How about like eclipse java android? Can they run in windows 8?
the visual studio 2012 is more recommended in windows 8 in order to install certain sdk's like windows phone 8 sdk .. so it should work even more smooth in windows 8
eclipse and java also work fine ... most of the application that works with win 7 will work with win 8 without a problem i didn't find any issue tell now only some drive that wasn't installed correctly and the windows search for the drive for me and install it from the device manager .. the only issue that i can't solve it tell now the 2 finger scrolling.
According to Microsoft website, VS 2012 is compatible with Windows 8 :
http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/11/en-us/products/compatibility
I read some returns about Eclipse, that's not possible (or not basically possible) to run it on Windows 8 right now, but I guess it will be soon, when Windows 8 will be released...
Windows 8 is just another OS by MICROSOFT where they have changed the architecture of the Operating System. All those software that were compatible on previous version on Windows will be working fine in windows 8. Windows 8 has apps as the new thing in it.
It does not matter you buy a laptop with or without windows 8. its an operating system which you can install on any machine provided it has the basic requirements of windows 8.
I just installed windows 8, visual studio 2012, eclipse, java and everything works fine
you can use either VS 2012 or VS 2010 in Windows 8. VS 2012 is compatible only in Windows8.
A touch screen is not a must to use Windows 8 but it is recommended for the best user experience.

Hello and happy new year.
I have a problem with my software. I've installed Visual Studio Code on my windows 11 and commonly I've installed some extensions on it.
also I have my Portable VS Code on an USB flash, but here's my problem. when I plug in my USB into my pc and open the VS Code, I don't know why windows open the installed version, because I want to install some extensions on the portable VS Code manually but I can't because of this problem,so is there a way to solve it?
I am trying to get a version of VS Code that will run on 32-bit Windows 7.
This page points to the release notes for 1.70 which has a 64-bit download.
This page provides a link to download the Insiders version, for use with 32-bit. But that version doesn't support Windows 7.
Where can I find such a version of VS Code?
The vscodium project still releases builds for many officially unsupported platforms formerly or never supported by vscode.
You can grab a release from here:
https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases
Here:
https://update.code.visualstudio.com/1.70.2/win32/stable (System installer)
https://update.code.visualstudio.com/1.70.2/win32-user/stable (User installer)
Taken from https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_70 and https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/supporting/faq#_previous-release-versions.
Though for some reason these don't work on my computer (Code.exe starts by dies after a bit). Who knows why...
Then there's a video downloading 1.50 and comments saying thank you, so I guess it worked (I didn't try because...) - very old version though. Not sure why 1.70 doesn't work on me, but anyway, according to Microsoft, it's the last one working on Windows 7, and here are the 2 links for its 32-bit Windows version. Hopefully it works for you and anyone else. This is a 2006 Pentium M DDR RAM PC anyway.
Also, there is a ZIP somewhere for 1.70.3, but I only found the 64-bit version.
I'm wondering if Dart SDK can be installed on Windows 8 because I'm confused about the System Requirements, They said it supported on Windows 10 and Architectures x64, ia32.
So Why Flutter which includes the full Dart SDK can be installed on Windows 7 SP1, See Flutter Docs
If anyone interested, the linked Flutter Docs mention Win7 no more, and it is normal as MS doesn't officially support that any more - but that doesn't mean that a certain thing won't run on it. I have a toy machine that has 32-bit Win7, and I could install the latest Dart SDK and was able to dart run hello_world.dart, so it should work on Win8 as well - it is a different question though that which bits of the technology will crash, if they prefer >= Win10. One needs to experiment by trial-and-error...
**Good day!
I am an IT student that is currently working on my Android app project and my laptop frequently notify me whenever I open to upgrade to Windows 10, (I am a genuine Windows 8.1 user installe on my Dell Vostro 5460).
Now, my question, is Android Studio and Eclipse ADT compatible with Windows 10? It is because I want the Windows 10 experience, but I have doubt that it will not be compatible with Android Studio and Eclipse ADT. Please help me with my question. Thanks you very much.**
Android Studio had I installed on the Windows 10 Technical Preview and it works. I could it open and develop a new Project.(I don't know what happend with a old project, but i think it must be work also.)
For a Tutorial how you install Ecplise i found this:
https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/55390/how-do-i-install-eclipse-and-java-sdk-into-windows-10
Is it this what you mean?
Background:
I have to build a Windows 8 application using HTML5 and Javascript. The application should work on windows 8 tablets and should do authentication using the windows provided native javascript Apis.
Issue:
I have a windows 7 laptop. I am coming from Java background and don't know about the windows side much.
Question:
I have done research , but got really confused
If I have to build my Windows 8 tablet specific application then what is the best option.
Should I install Visual studio into my laptop and then start
building the windows 8 application? ..
If I am going to use visual studio then which version should I use
as my laptop is running windows 7 ?
Or should I get my java eclipse IDE and install some additional
plugins to start building my windows 8 specific application ?...If
yes then which plugin should i use ?
first of all, there isn't any way to create windows 8 app in windows 7 PC (except you run windows 8 on a separate virtual machine). Check this for more info.
Yes, you have to install visual studio for Windows 8 app development anyway.
Visual Studio 2013 is a better choice to start with which includes most of all that you're gonna need.
For other tools check this.
There isn't any way to install any plugin into Eclipse and start developing apps for windows. You can only write scripts and html in Eclipse but App specific configuration, you have to do it in Visual Studio.
But my question to you is that why would you like to make Windows 8 App when you can make a Universal (Windows 10) app by spending same amount of time and efforts..! see the future. Windows 8 is not gonna last longer than a year (approx announcement in Build2015). Though No doubt, apps made for windows 8 will work on Windows 10 also with some exceptions.
Hope this helps..!
All the best...
