agile Application Support for Windows 10
As you may have heard, Microsoft is releasing their new operating software, Windows 10 on July 29, 2015. Corporately, we have been testing agile applications with pre-release versions of Windows 10, as well as some agencies have been beta users for Microsoft.
We are pleased to report that we have not experienced any problems or had any agency feedback of issues using Windows 10 with agile. We plan to continue our testing when the final release is made available on July 29th.
All agile applications will be supported on Windows 10. Your Windows 7 or 8.x machines may (or may not) be prompted to update to Windows 10 over the next several weeks. You do not need to update to be compatible with agile, as we will continue to support Windows 7 & 8.1.
Windows 10 will ship with 2 versions of the browser – one named “Edge” and the other one the familiar “Internet Explorer 11” (IE 11). The new Microsoft browser “Edge” is very similar, in terms of technical compatibility, to Google Chrome. Long-term we are working to support both Edge and Chrome, but currently agile will only run under IE 11. So, if you are using Windows 10, be sure to launch agile in IE 11.
Lastly, before you upgrade, please verify that any other third party software you use is compatible with Windows 10.
If you experience any problems using agile in Windows 10, please report the issue to IT using the support ticketing system.
