Hi to all.
Has anyone faced AC21 issues working on Win7?
In the system requirement it written that win7 has not been tested ...
as long as I would like to move one recently-started project from Ac19 to AC21 I'd like to know if I must move my OS from win7 to win10 also ...

I haven't noticed any problems so far but I must admit I use my PC more than my laptop and have only really played around with 21 rather than using it seriously.

I don't recall hearing of any issues.

We were told to upgrade to WIN10 to fix a bug in AC20, as it does not officially support WIN7 too. We didn't have the most smooth upgrade, forgot to release our software key and ended up with the workstation running license not working. Painful experience. The bug persisted in WIN10.

That said, WIN7 is getting a bit old by now and I have had no issues with WIN10 so far on our HP workstations after we got the one with license server working again as well (problems with displays not working).
