Jul 29, 2015 – Reality & Microsoft Windows 10
Sites running under the Windows Host Platform for Reality are recommended to continue use their current tested Windows versions and should Contact Reality Account Management for advice when considering upgrading or rolling out new systems to Windows 10. The latest Server class software remains at Server 2012, however, Windows 10 Pro & Enterprise are intended to replace Windows 8.x therefore Reality has been tested during the Insider Preview Programme. These tests were positive, however, further testing will be carried out for the final released versions and any use of Reality on these releases needs to be fully acceptance tested by Reality VARs and end customers. In line with Reality UNIX platforms, Reality will be supported only on 64bit versions of Windows 10.

As Reality is a database, user operating environment and language product set you are always advised to use dedicated systems for use by Reality on any version of Windows – i.e. it should not have other database and system level products loaded as well as Reality and preferably no other software loaded unless needed and fully tested. The provider of the Reality Applications needs to determine the suitability for running under the chosen hardware and Windows versions, including required devices and any integrated software, as well as provide the necessary acceptance testing with end users. For use under virtualisation please refer to Microsoft for their current view and for Reality deployment refer to Are Virtualisation Platforms Supported.

Loading and updating Reality must be carried out under full administrator privileges – i.e. using a Windows Admin Command Prompt, or running commands using the Run as administrator option. Some issues with loading and updating the Reality product set have been seen on previous releases of Windows, typically down to Microsoft changes connected with security, which are also within Windows 10.
