The scheduled release date for Windows 10 is 29 July 2015. Will FTM 2014 be compatible with Windows 10?

What makes you think it won't be compatible with W10?

Until someone on this board installs a production version of Win10 and then installs FTM2014 us users (almost everyone reading this board) will not know. The makers of FTM as far as I know have not made an official statement.

You could ask the makers of FTM directly by calling them or sending an email to support.

I have heard from a few "Beta testers" that FTM 2014 is running just fine.
In the past this has meant that FTM would run fine on the production release.

Also, when clicking of the GWX icon and then clicking on the 3 bars in the upper right corner of the GWX pane, then clicking "Check Your PC", there is no problem found with FTM.

I am running FMT 2014 on Windows 10 build 10130. It is working fine for me.

Because MS is not a crazy coy and FTM is not a super funny program (using things that it shouldn't).
In fact from our group of FTM users, we have one that reports -

"Have just installed and run FTM2014 on Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview Evaluation Copy, Build 10074. Most of the operations I tried worked perfectly, but there were two hiccups which were probably due to the incomplete nature of the operating system. This is an evaluation (beta?) copy of Win10 after all.
Fred"

I've asked him to provide info on the "hiccups". But as you have seen from others, it is already running on the beta.

And why do I have the optimistic view rather than the pessimistic view? Because I know that FTM development wouldn't want to cut it's nose off to spite it's face.

I'm sure we will enjoy a update VERY shortly after W10 is released.

Does any one have FTM-2012 running on Windows 10??

I am running FTM-2012, but from the comments on this forum, others are running several earlier version of FTM. Does any one no if they will run on Windows 10?

According to Microsoft's Win 10 Compatibily site, FTM 2014 v22 is NOT compatible.
NOT.

They say that v21 (FTM 2012) is compatible.

I asked Ancestry tech support this question on the phone last week.
They also said it was not compatible & they did not know when a new fix would be available.
