Windows 8 & Studio'09 + Office Professional 2010
Aug 20, 2013
I have just brought a new Windows 8 PC online and am transitioning to it and looking for guidance with installing Studio'09 and Office 2010 (I guess)>
My 2 permitted PCs are both Windows XP and 1 has Office Professional 2000, the other Office Professional 2007 & both have Studio'09 alive and well. I plan to decommission the Office Pro 2000 PC as soon as I get the Windows 8 machine fully operational.
Question 1: Am I correct to assume no compatibility problems with Studio'09 and Windows 8?
Question 2: Any known compatibility problems with Studio'09 and Office Professional 2010 under Windows 8?
Question 3: Any prognostication on known, suspected or otherwise feared compatibility issues with the coming Studio'13 and my Windows 8 environment? [e.g., Windows 8 + Office Professional 2010 + Studio'13 expected to work just fine, etc]
I simply hate to spend good money and discover it is a throw-away!
Thank in advance ... Bill

Hi Bill,
1) You should be good to go with Windows 8 and Studio 9.
2) You'll want to make sure you have the PowerPoint 2010 (32-bit only) within your Office suite.
3) They're still testing out Studio '13, but I haven't heard anything yet on issues with Windows 8.
Is installation of the 32-bit version an option at install time?
I have already ordered the Office Pro 2010 upgrade & guess I'll know soon enough!
Hi Bill,
Yes, you'll need the 32-bit version (not 64-bit) as described here.
Working like a charm, as it ought to be.
Thanks for your assistance ... Bill
