Win 8.1 - djoser1970 - 08-29-2014
Does FL Discovery play on the new Windows 8.1? Buying a new gaming laptop system today a ASUS ROG G750JZ. I want to make sure it works, but I hear 8.1 is a pain in the A**
Any feedback would be great thanks.

I dunno 'bout pain...
I use 8.1 - and have used every windows OS platform since 3.1 - I've seen worse than 8.1
FL plays just fine on it.

Don't use windows 8 or 8.1, it's a new malware invented by Microhard.

Windows 8.1, make a recovery disk/USB now.
Otherwise if things go pearshaped you will have fun getting it back.

If you have not got a full installation disk then make the recovery USB/Disk now when computer is new.
Many of the recovery functions (safe mode, system restore etc.) tend to need a working copy of 8.1 before they work. Of course the reason you want them is when your 8.1 is not working.
Last windows update rendered our 8.1 computer non-bootable locked into restart - autorecovery cycle. Had no installation disks etc. as was a OEM Win 7 upgrade, needed a lot of DOS prompt work to solve.

Windows XP SP 3 Compatibality does the trick.
