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

derrr!!!... I mean premium 10 above
Wow Microsoft just doesn't get it. The Dumbed down a perfectly great, easy program in Lieu of enhancing PI. Every time I upgrade to the "NEW" Windows I as a consumer get stuck with purchasing $1000s of dollars of new software. Starting with Office, Printers, PI, and every known software. When will someone at MS get the darn 17 year olds off their board and think of the working world????? PLEASE QUIT UPDATING and costing me more even if you think it is "Upgrading" or "Cool". I like my wife, but I don't change her and my kids every year!!!! Get a Clue MS development...
Try Windows XP mode in Win8.1. Here is a link on how.
I downloaded the Microsoft Picture It Premium 10 disc that came with my old Dell desktop which ran xp sp3 onto my new Dell desktop running 8.1 and it works. Not sure if there will be issues down the road but I was able to edit some new pictures without resorting to using the old computer as my photo work station. My old Dell 942 AIO printer was also stated not to be compatible with 8.1 but after downloading Lexmark sc400 printer vista drivers to 8.1 it works fine also. Go figure-
