I've been using R / RStudio for several months on Windows 7 & 8. Now I've received the upgrade invitation from Microsoft but at the same time, I've heard that there were serious compatibility issues between ancient versions of Windows and Windows 10.
I would need to know if it's possible to run R / RStudio on Windows 10 without major issues.
I have personally tried to run R and Rstudio with Windows with no problems (at the moment). Needless to say, I am on a split setup where my work machine is a windows 10 OS and my home is a Windows 7 OS. However, I find myself using my Windows 7 OS due to familiarity (with the GUI) and potential compatibility issues (that I might not be aware of at the moment). I guess this is a personal gimmick of mine, but as with all 'new' OS, expect to be disappointed.
I'm currently running R/Rstudio on Windows 10 at home. Haven't hit any snags yet. I wouldn't rush to deploy in an Enterprise environment, but as far as I can tell it seems stable enough where R operation is concerned.
Plus, you get Cortana (which, judging by the name, sounds a bit frumpier than Siri, but it is Windows after all)
I installed Win 10 on my laptop (i7, 16g Ram) last week and so far it is working OK with R studio. My desk computer is nearly the same specs as my laptop, but I am keeping it with Win 8.1 for now.
I've been running R and RStudio on Windows 10 (both Home and Pro editions) with no fuss at all yet.
I had also been working with both R and Rstudio in windows 7 and 8. However, Rstudio stopped working after upgrading to windows 10. R is still working appropriately. So, you could expect problems or no problems after upgrading to windows 10. Try holding down the control key while starting R studio.

I wanted to learn how to build Shiny Apps in R so I started this beginner-level tutorial. However, when I run the app on my desktop (Windows 10 x64, 16GB RAM, 500 GB SSD, i5-3470 CPU, Dual Display) in R Studio 1.3.1093) using R 4.0.3, it loads indefinitely with no error output. I tried running even the basic built-in examples (which you could find here) and they also failed to load. The exact same scripts and examples run on my laptop (Windows 10 x64, 8GB RAM, 250 GB SSD; R & R Studio specs the same) without issue. I've reinstalled the shiny package, reinstalled R and R Studio, and changed whether the app runs internally or externally with no success. I did find this post which seems to have encountered the same issue, but with no solution.
I know it's not much to go on, but I'm at a loss as to the next thing I should check. Any suggestions?
I figured out from this mostly unrelated post that there was a file at the path C:/ Users/.../Documents\R\win-library\4.0/ called 00LOCK which was giving R trouble downloading and updating new packages. I'm not sure how it got there or why R was not telling me there were issues in updating the packages, but the shiny app seems to work perfectly fine now.
I have a new Surface Laptop 3 for Windows development. I'm just starting to learn Xamarin.Forms and I'm using Visual Studio 2019. The device emulators work fine as does debugging on a physical Android. I'd like to debug on an iOS device. However, I only own a Late 2011 MBP (16GB RAM, SSD). I am limited to High Sierra and XCode 10.1. Is this Macbook good enough for me to at least debug and just learn Xamarin.Forms using iOS devices?
If you want to release your app some time soon, you'll be required to use the iOS 13 SDK (source). To use the iOS 13 SDK you'll need Xcode 11+, unfortunately
Xcode 11 requires a Mac running macOS Mojave 10.14.4 or later. (source)
And Mojave is not intended to run on devices older than 2012 (see here for example). Anyway, this does not necessarily mean that you can't use your old MBP at all. Even though Mojave is not intended to run on devices that old, people have been able to run it anyway. Have a look at dosdude1's Mojave patcher. I have been able to successfully install Mojave on my (early 2011) MBP and it works without any reason for complaint. However, since the OS is not intended to run on our MBP YMMV.
And please note (shamelessly copied from this answer of mine)
This is probably a violation of Apples ToS
If you want to release your application in the App Store you might still run into troubles (unlikely, albeit, still conceivable)
You'll have to trust dosdude1, the patches are not open source, as far as I can tell
The machine is not guaranteed to work as it did before
Platform: Windows server 2012 R2 Datacenter
Version: mpich2-1.3
Problem: I have installed mpich2 on my windows server before and I could start mpiexec quickly. However, recently I added a domain for my windows server. After I shifted to my new domain and account, mpiexec seems to start too slow. I tried re-install MPICH2, but it still takes about 2 minutes to start the example cpi.exe. My intent is to use MPICH2 to run another program, which is much bigger than cpi.exe, and even if an hour passes, the calculation seems not start. I am quite confused. If you know any solution/guidance, please tell me.
I finally solved this question by migrating MPICH2 to MS-MPI. The codes are the same, but some configures of Visual Studio Project should be changed. A good article for how to compile MS-MPI program in Visual Studio: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/windowshpc/2015/02/02/how-to-compile-and-run-a-simple-ms-mpi-program/
I'm having problems installing BI Publisher for Desktop 11.1.1.9.0 32bit(11g) on Win7 64 bit system (Office 2013). Previously I successfully installed it but there was no add-on visible in Office, so tried with 64 bit version but with no luck. After that I've uninstalled it but now it keeps giving me these errors, "INSTALL DIR get falied!" and "TBMenusSetup.msi!"
Any idea hoe to solve this?

This is what I did on Windows 7 (64-bit) and Office 2013 (32-bit):
Download: Oracle BI Publisher Desktop 11.1.1.7.0 for 32 bit Office on Windows (244 MB) - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-publisher/downloads/index.html
Run BIPublisherDesktop32.exe
If Add-In doesn't show up at this point, run step 4
Run setup.exe from here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\DotNetInstallFiles\setup.exe
Done
I also check the following conditions if I have trouble with installing BIP (which I often have)
Make sure that the versions on your system are matching
(JRE,Office,BIP). That means: If you have Office in 64bit you need
JRE(64bit) and BIP(64bit).
Check if the addon is deactivated by word and activate it in case.
Use "Run as Administrator" with the BIP Installer.
Hope this helps :)
download bi publisher desktop and do a fresh install.
if you are not getting the add on then go to Microsoft office icon-->word option-->add ins-->then check in manage drop down(disabled items).If its Bi Publisher then click on that.You will get this in MS word.

Personally, until next time, not sure what worked, as above step I did earlier with no resolution.
But, I have been installing, troubleshooting BIP Desktop for few years and each time it is broken, fix do not exist and there are threads which leads to absolutely nothing. This time around, O365 was rolled out to Pilot Users and yes BIP toolbar gone. Uninstalled O365, re-installed Office 2010, repair/remove/reinstall - none worked. Ran MS Debug/ Sysinternals - Procmon/ProcessXP - found leak threads but nothing to suggest which components is missing or corrupted. Finally, I started running all msi and pre-req sw in BIP dir and DotNetInstallFiles, and it did come back the elusive toolbar, which MS Word fails to load or kept in Inactive add-ins.
In a course, students have to install R on their computers. One of the students has a Windows RT (aka Windows 8.1 RT?) machine (a kind of MS Surface) and told me she cannot install R on the computer ("This app can't run on your PC" message shows up). Knowing nothing about Windows RT and after researching about it on the internet, I leaned that Windows RT does not really allow to install anything except from its own store (I don't know if this is true or not).
Are there any ways to install R on Windows RT?
From the MS website:
With Windows RT 8.1, you can install apps directly from the Windows
Store, but you can't install desktop apps that you used with previous
versions of Windows.
So the answer is no. You cannot install R on windows RT.
Searh for jailbreak windows rt, you need to follow the instructions and only perform this whenever you need to install non Microsft RT software.
