<DIV>Title: OS Upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10 – Free Pascal Consequences
?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am currently running under Windows 7 but I MUST upgrade to Windows 10
Pro.</DIV>
<DIV>My questions relate to the version of the Pascal compiler I've been using
for years</DIV>
<DIV>and compatibility of the numerous object-code files produced by that
compiler.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The version of Free Pascal which I am currently using is:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Free Pascal IDE for Win32 for i386</DIV>
<DIV> Target CPU: i386</DIV>
<DIV> Version 1.0.12 2013/02/12 **Note 2013</DIV>
<DIV> (Compiler Version 2.6.2)</DIV>
<DIV> (Debugger GDB 7.2)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Current computer is:</DIV>
<DIV> Dell Precision T1700</DIV>
<DIV> Processor: Intel Xeon CPU E3-1225 v3 3.2 GHz, 32/64
bit</DIV>
<DIV> RAM: 8 GB</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Will I need to recompile my Pascal source files for object compatibility
with Win 10?</DIV>
<DIV>Should I install the latest version of Free Pascal, and if so, which
version is that?</DIV>
<DIV>Will I have any compatibility problems with my source codes and an
up-to-date compiler?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any other suggestions or precautions?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you very, very much.</DIV>

<DIV>P.S. - "Lazarus" is a term I'm not familiar with. Is it a completely
new IDE for Free</DIV>
<DIV> Pascal? Is there a document which describes differences
with the old IDE?</DIV>
<DIV> Is the old IDE still available in case I have trouble with
Lazarus?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks again.</DIV></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
