Can I expect Visual Studio 2012 to continue to operate under Windows10 when it is automatically installed?

Thanks for Spiri's help.

Hi jClem Consulting,

Actually no official inforamtion share us that whether the Windows 10 really supports the previous VS version like the VS2012 or VS2013.

But as far as I know, it would support the VS2015 like this document here:

https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-2015-compatibility-vs

But like the previous version VS2012 or VS2013, like this case:

Sometimes it would generate certain issues. For example, I also meet certain issues before when I use the VS2013 in windows 10, like the lanaguage package setup issue or others. As far as I know, the Windows 10 is not the real RTM version now, my suggestion is that if possible, you could use the VS2015 RC version in your current windows now.

After the real RTM is released, maybe we could know that the latest information about this issue from the official site.

Best Regards,

Jack

yes, it will work ..

you get a warning for all the programs that will no longer work on windows 10, visual studio 2012 is not one of them.

Hope it helps. Spiri
