Windows 10 Preview Tested Apps

There has been an update of CPU-Z to v1.71.

It now works OK on Windows 10.

Hi there

running as a HOST (i.e REAL Machine not a VM) Enterprise x-64. VMWARE WORKSTATION version 10 -- NAT / Bridged networking does NOT work.

Connecting Windows machines (or simply sharing HDD's) TO W10 whether as a GUEST (a VM) or a REAL machine (note not FROM W10 - that's OK) with OS releases EARLIER than W8 or even Non windows machines fails if you simply use their host name (computer name). It DOES work if you connect via actual IP address - but often you don't want to do this especially if you are using DHCP.

Sad to know that Avast is the black list

It might be useful to know if Win10 is running as the main OS, dual boot from Win7 or Win8, or as a VM (Hyper-V, VMware, Virtualbox).

It's important to test all scenarios, but some issues might be related to the way Win10 is running.

I'm running Win8.1 and a Hyper-V Win10 Virtual Machine.

Success install & execution:
Snipping tool (native),
Paint (native),
VLC v2.1.5 x64 (sans audio - I need to figure that out. Kari's Hypr-V turoail gives a workaround - use RDP to connect not Hyper-V)
Textpad v5.4.2,
OpenOffice v4.1.1 (installed and tested Calc and Writer only - to conserve vHD space)
cCleaner v4.18.4844 x64
Defraggler v2.18.945 x64
Palemoon browser v24.7.2 x64
7-zip v9.20 x64 Note: could not be installed via RDP, had to copy the install pkg to the local VHD

Failed to install
Speccy v1.26 - compatibility issues. Online check for solution - no solution found

Scheduled to install at some point
Gimp
Audacity
mp3Tag
XnView
XnShell
Belarc Advisor

All x64 if available.

And then there's a ton of Malware scanners ... but I'm putting more effort into the Hyper-V machines - after that I'll see how my favorites apps behave.

Nice job Jamie!

Open Hardware Monitor is working Ok.

I can use it now, thanks. Only the standalone, zip version worked for me.
