Get your programs working with Windows 8
Most programs written for Windows 7 also work with Windows 8. When you install or run an older
program, Windows monitors it for symptoms of known compatibility issues. If it finds an issue, Program
Compatibility Assistant provides some recommended actions that you can take to help the program run
properly on Windows 8. For more info, see Program Compatibility Assistant: FAQ on Windows.com.
Most programs created for earlier versions of Windows will work with Windows 8, but some older
programs might run poorly or not at all. You can run the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter on most
programs to detect and fix common compatibility problems. For more info, see Make older programs
compatible with this version of Windows on Windows.com.
The Windows Compatibility Center has info to help you identify which apps will or won't work with
Windows 8.1.
