Microsoft Picture It! Premium 10

I have been using Microsoft Picture It! Premium 10 (mpi10) with Windows XP for quite some time until just recently when I bought a new computer with Windows 8.1.  However, when I tried to install mpi10 on my new computer, I realized the two weren't compatible.

I really like mpi10, & I work with pictures quite often.  Question is... is there a way to make it compatible, or is there another photo editing software that it compares with, that is compatible with Windows 8.1, & that I can download from your site?

Hi,

Yes, as per the compatibility status on Windows Compatibility center is concerned, Microsoft Picture It is not compatible with Windows 8.1. Refer to the link to get the details:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/CompatCenter/ProductDetailsViewer?Type=Software&Name=Microsoft+Picture+It%21+Photo+Premium&ModelOrVersion=10&Vendor=Microsoft&Locale=1033%2C2057%2C3081%2C4105%2C16393&LastSearchTerm=microsoft%2Bpicture%2Bit%2Bphoto%2Bpremium%2B10&BreadcrumbPath=microsoft+picture+it+photo+premium+10&TempOsid=Windows+8.1

However, in Windows 8.1 Operating System, you can use Windows Live Photo Gallery in place of Microsoft Picture It:

Photo Gallery

    I do a ton of photo editing and I love Picture It Premium 10. I've had it for many many years. I also use Photoshop Elements 12 but for a lot of my editing I still prefer Picture It. It is not as powerful as Elements but it's a lot more intuitive and just plain easier to use and prefer the file organizer over PSE's.

    A few years ago when I got a new computer it came with Windows 7 Home. I found out that I needed to upgrade to Windows Pro in order to get the backwards compatibility. The programs kind of run in a virtual environment. Everything installed perfectly and is nicely integrated with the rest of the computer and I have never had any issues.

    Unfortunately that's where they scr** people over because I had to pay an additional $150.00+ just to get that feature in order to keep a bunch of my programs working. Has anyone checked to see if the upgrade is an option with 8 or 8.1?

    Lack of compatibility with programs and peripherals has been a major issue with Windows 8 and 8.1.

    What about Windows 10 ? I’ve been afraid to try....

    Thank you all! I'm afraid my French is of the 'gutter' variety. I guess it's time to make a library run to pick up some French CDs so I can learn how to use it!! It figures...if it were in Japanese, German, or Scandinavian I could refresh my Japanese, get my husband to help translating the Scandinavian, and my little brother with the German.
