using Quartus version 10.1 with windows 8.1

Will Quartus 2 version 10.1 work on windows 8.1? We have a new PC to run it on, but we need to maintain compatibility with several other workstations, who share the designs. Anyone out there doing this?

    i understand why some people reluctant to update their quartus, as when it is good enough no point to risk for another version that may come to potential incompatibility issues.

    I only plan to update Quartus when I start working on a new project. Then when the project is started I freeze my Quartus version and only use that one without updating, unless there is a really blocking bug that requires another version of the software.

    this is really a good practice of DaiXiWen should be followed by others, in order to spend more time in the real development work rather than solving compatibility related matters.

    It is a very common practise in the industry, nothing special there.

    If it ain't broken, don't fix it. 'cause you'll break it, and you still can't fix it. ;)
