Is Poser 8 compatible with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit?  Thanks.

It should if you have the latest SR.  Note that some have had problems if IE11 has been installed.

I use 8 on Windows 7 Pro, but be sure to use Explorer 10. Or you will have problems with your Library showing.

Thank you guys, I just got my new computer and I was planning on putting my library on my E: drive because my C: drive is a SSD and it is super fast but does not have lots of room. I will check which Explorer it has eventhough I use mostly Chrome. Hopefully with the library in a different drive it will not be a conflict if I have Explorer 11 pre installed.

I have the same setup and it seems to work fine.  The E drive is accelerated by using another SSD fitted to the motherboard but the speed gain is minimal.  I also have taken an image of the C drive in case the SSD fails and back up the E drive on a regular basis.  In theory this should allow me to apply the image to a new SSD and continue or, in the case of an E drive failure, load the backup to a new conventional drive.

 

 

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.

 I like that, I even have Colud based back ups because installing from scratch or losing files is a pain!!
