[DUG] Windows 10 issues

[Matt Comb]

Just out of interest, what version of windows did you have before the
upgrade ?

Upgraded to Windows 10 on my personal Delphi PC last night, had already
played with it at work and all seemed OK.   Although the upgrade worked, it
sort of turned to custard as email and Delphi and Browsing were not working
afterwards:

 

*         A standard HP ended up with no working network or wireless driver,
so googling and downloading updated drivers if available was not an option

*         Delphi 2007 does not run (it loads but cannot  display any
projects and complains about .NET 2.5) - seems to require .Net 2.5 which is
not on Windows 10 .  Does anyone know if this can be downloaded separately?
Or if I have the Delphi 2007 installer will reinstalling fix this?

*         Also for Delphi programmers - Windows 10 seems does settings
differently around increasing text size - under "Screen resolution" and
"Make text and other items larger or smaller"   it seems to stretch the
window/form sizes but does NOT change the DPI setting.   This means the
fonts on Delphi forms becomes smudged.  I had some quite good workarounds
for sizing grids/column widths/fonts when text size was set to 125% but
these will have to be revisited for Windows 10
