    Default Compatibility Windows 10 - Qt 4.8.6

    Hello everyone!

    Qt 4.8.6 does not have any Windows 10 support. I understand.
    Can you explain me which internal modifications are developed in order to support Windows 10?
    Are there any issues with memory ? Is there a post on Qt site which indicates that Qt 4.8.6 s incompatible with Windows 10 ?

    Thanks in advance guys!

    Qt 4.8.4 + VisualStudio 2008 + Windows7 (64bits) : it's OK.
    Qt 4.8.4 + VisualStudio 2008 + Windows10 (64bits) : it's OK.
    Windows10 specific support : what do you mean ?

    Thanks for your answer.
    I compile my application with MSVC 2010 + Qt 4.8.6, which runs perfectly on Windows 7, but it crashes on Windows 10, on a simple use case.
    That's why I would like to know if Qt 4.8.6 application compiled with Windows 7 can be runnable on a Windows 10.

    If Qt4 application runs well with Windows 10, what means "Full Windows 10 support" on Qt5 apart from Windows 10 specific features (Bluetooth, ...) ?

    If you try to build Qt 4.8 on Windows 10 or use a more recent Visual Studio compiler (MSVC 2013, 2015), you willl get compiler warnings about "unsupported Windows version" or "unsupported compiler version". However, I do not think there is anything in Qt 4.8 that would prevent you from building and using it on Windows 10. There are no pre-built Qt 4.8 versions for Windows 10 - Qt 4.8 was discontinued long before that.

    I suspect that your crash problem is probably due to linking in an incorrect library. Try building one of the Qt example or tutorial programs as a first step instead of devising your own use case test.
