Windows 8?

I just had a question

can the frc programs and plugins work with windows 8, because im pretty sure windows 8 provides support for native programs from windows 7

thanks for the the help

All FRC released software is not officially compatible, but you should see no problems come up. I’d recommend using W7 for your driverstation though, because you don’t want bugs popping up in the middle of competition.

I haven’t had any issues so far with using Windows 8 with the frc software, but i do recommend using Windows 7 on the driver station.

I was successfully using Windows 8 with the Java software and 2013 driver station (at least until my laptop’s hard drive failed)
