I'm afraid but no fix for win8/10 (scbw fullscreen) will be available in foreseeable future
Win7 is last one

It runs better than in Windows 8.1 for me. With the latest mca64 launcher it doesn't even close the explorer.exe and run really smooth in fullscreen. To bad the Bnet is messed up but matches run perfect.

If you want to play 20 year old games your best bet is always staying on older systems this is hardly surprising.

So BW is still playable on windows 10 right? I'm gonna build a new comp soon (i5, 250gb ssd, 8gb ram) and want to buy windows 10 home for it, but if BW doesn't run I'm not sure what I'll do

From the reports it looks like it doesn't.

Sounds contradictory there

What boxes are you checking??? The black bars on the sides are normal because SC is made for 4:3 aspect ratio, you can stretch it using software provided for your gpu.

Can you verify that it's not network lag or other programs using too much cpu?

Same as Windows 8


So fine in full screen apart from BNet is that correct?

Yes

Anyone tried installing Win7 or WinXP in a virtual machine inside Win10?
I haven't upgraded yet, but I will. All the searches about virtual machines + Win10, have to do with previewing Win10, and not using older OS's in Win10.
Surely there'll be some software that'll let you vitualize it. Dual-booting is messy and I don't know what I'm doing so I don't want to partition my hard drive wrong. My only concern would be lag.
Or you could even make a portable 'Live' USB of Win7 or WinXP. Make sure it's USB3.0 again, I don't know if the lag would be noticeable.

Windows 10 has the same issues as Windows 8, if you haven't played SC on Windows 8, it's just graphical issues with the Battle.net interface but everything else is perfect. All the other issues like SC being too small or black bars on the sides are issues with the GPU and not the OS.

There shouldn't be a problem creating a Windows 7/Windows XP virtual machine in Windows 10 AFAIK. You'll need a good computer if you don't want to experience much lag using a virtual machine though

BW works perfectly with mca64launcher and 2x screen mode. The BNET graphics glitches still occur yeah, but other than that it works like a charm. I haven't gotten my free copy of W10 yet but I'm assuming that it will turn out the same way.
