It better, windows 7 will lose support from MS coming december, and windows 8 is a pile of garbage. I would hope BW is on this because I got my free upgrade reserved as well.

Why wouldn't it? Windows 10 is just 8, which is just 7, which is just Vista... Vista is the last time any major changes were made to the core of Windows, everything since is just minor stuff...

JunnKhan Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) So quick question will windows 10 support swtor, because I just got a free upgrade to it and am wondering if the game will be able to be run on it. Swtor still works on Win 10, as of Insider Preview build 10130 released last week. I doubt that will change before its public release at the end of next month.

RiVaN_ Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 As of Windows 8.1 you have to run SWTOR in compatability mode with Windows XP SP3 for it to work. So the question is legit. Will SWTOR run on Windows 10 or will we need to hope that 10 has compatibility mode? Honestly I'm not gonna hold my breath and wait for an answer, I have a copy of Windows 10 Preview and a 750 GB HDD. I'm going to clone my laptop, pop in the new HDD and install W10 and SWTOR and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbfhl Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 SWTOR runs perfectly without any compatibility crap on 8.1 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need it, then something is wrong with your machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you install it as an administrator, maybe that's why you are having issues. It works fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
