Do you support Windows 10 Home or Education versions?
No, as with the Windows 7 Home version, we will not support the Home or Education versions of Windows 10.

Where should I report issues when running on a Windows 10 machine?
It is our goal to address all functional software issues with our products on new operating systems prior to our software releases. Should you encounter an issue unique to the Windows 10 operating system, please open a support ticket.
