>From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_8#Software_compatibility Software compatibility BSOD in Windows 8 Windows 8 for IA-32 and x64 processors runs most software compatible with previous versions of Windows, with the same restrictions as Windows 7: 64-bit Windows 8 runs 64-bit and 32-bit software while 32-bit Windows 8 will be able to run 32-bit and 16-bit software (although some 16-bit software may require compatibility settings to be applied, or not work at all). Windows RT, a version of Windows 8 for systems with ARM processors, only supports applications included with the system (such as a special version of Office 2013), supplied through Windows Update, or Windows Store apps. Windows RT does not support running existing IA-32 or x64 desktop applications to ensure the quality of apps available on ARM.[109] Windows Store apps can either be cross-compatible between Windows 8 and Windows RT, or compiled to support a specific architecture.[110] Jim -----Original Message----- From: bk-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:bk-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of David Youse Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2012 7:52 PM To: John Steed; bk@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [BK] Portable devices There are several tablets that run Windows, such as the Dell Latitude ST, the HP Slate 2, the Fujitsu Stylistic Q550, the Acer Iconia W500 and the Samsung Series 7 Slate. The first two have 64-bit Professional, the next two are 32-bit Home and the last has 64-bit Home. Is there any obvious reason why these wouldn't run BK6?

BK will not run on Windows CE either. Windows CE requires programs written specifically for CE You need a laptop that can run the normal version of Windows.
