AC 12 & Windows 7?

[Anonymous]

My current slow motion Windows XP pro machine will soon be gone or rebuilt.
I'm on AC12 and would like to know if I will have any trouble when I migrate to Windows 7 Pro....?

thanks!!!

Thanks Karl!
While I'm at it, I'd like to get your advice...
I plan to upgrade at some point but of course the $ are a consideration so I might look at AC15 rather than 17. Any input there?
And I notice you're running XP.. May i ask about your reasoning?

I use XP just to run QuickBooks, Quicken, and Access on my Mac under Parallels. As Intuit is no longer going to support XP, an upgrade to Windows 7 or 8.1 is in my future...

I did use XP for AC 15's Google Earth Connection, which was a Windows-only thing. But, hardly used it... and now that AC is 64 bit only, that's another reason to update the version of Windows I have running under Parallels.

Cheers / sorry I missed your post last December!
