Quartus and Windows 10

[Altera_Forum]

Since Windows 10 will be released in the upcoming weeks I am wondering if some people have used a testversion of W10 with Quartus and Modelsim and what their experiences are. In other words do they both work on Windows 10?

Thank you for sharing this info. I have not yet have Windows 10 now but soon will get it installed.

You could always install a supported version of linux... that is free. 

You could even run it inside a virtual machine on your windows machine.
