Is BLS-2024 compatible with Windows 8

Microsoft has ended all support for Windows 8.1 and Windows 8 on 1/12/2023 and can no longer be officially supported by CDE Software. As such, we highly recommend upgrading to Windows 11 or Windows 10.

There have been a large number of features added and offered to developers of software products that may create incompatibility with software products that support newer versions of Windows.

CDE Software did a preliminary test installing and operating BLS-2024 on Windows 8.1 with all updates applied as of August 1st, 2023 and the software appeared to operate as intended. BLS-2024 will not be undergoing further testing of BLS-2024 under Windows 8.1 or offering technical assistance with the Windows 8.1 operating system.

If you are a bowling center using the Automatic Scoring edition, we strongly recommend upgrading to a newer version of Windows or attach a new computer with a newer version of Window to same network the server is on.
