Post by: Sunshine on October 08, 2021, 08:34:47 am

With announcement about windows 11 this week and a message in Windows update

Great news—your PC meets the minimum system requirements for Windows 11. Specific timing for when it will be offered can vary as we get it ready for you.
Note: Some Windows 10 features aren't available in Windows 11. Certain apps and features may have additional requirements.

I wonder if anyone has upgraded to Windows 11 yet and experienced any issues running Sparx EA given the note highlighted above.

I had my personal machine running Windows 11 prerelease for a while and confirmed that EA ran without problem. I also know that it has been run on the actual release by another person here.

I can't say that you won't experience any issues, but in a sample size of 2 it worked.

Have been running EA 15.2 on Windows 11 pre-release myself, both ok the intel and the ARM64 version and have not had any issues on either of them.

One wor of caution though. Since IIS is not available on the ARM64 version and others, like XAMPP, has not been ported, running WebEA and PCS, is not possible yet. It works perfectly on the intel version.

Thanks for that update. Interesting to hear about ARM64 etc. Taking the plunge and installed Windows 11 to see how it runs over the next few weeks.

So far so good. Sparx EA seems to work okay. Only issue I've had with Windows 11 is the fingerprint scanner for Windows Hello doesn't work. Appears to be no update either.

Managed to get the fingerprint scanner working by uninstalling and restarting Windows.
No problems experienced with Sparx EA yet.
