Hopefully going to get a new computer that has Windows 10. I looked on Daz3d site for recommendations and it only showed Windows 8 as the highest version. Is that webpage up to date? Don't want to get Windows 10 if Daz3d software won't work on it. If there is a new link, please give it to me for the recommendations.
Thanks
Nathan

I am running Windows 10 64 bit and DAZ Studio 64 bit 4.9.2.70
Generally Windows 10 seems to work happily with Daz Studio, though if you new PC has an nVidia 10x0 video card remember that we don't yet have drivers that support Iray on the pascal cards (for any OS).
And you should know that DAZ Connect most likely won't work, no matter what you've been said. Even the tech support isn't able to help you fix that problem.
I've been running Daz3D just fine on my windows 10 PC, but as said before, no support for the GeForce 10 series graphics cards just yet.
Don't use either, so not an issue. I installed 8.1 on new laptop. I have a disk image of W10 just in case, but the spyware, and constant guard against it just irritates me.
It is easy to roll back, and as you've had windows 10 on it, you should be able to reinstall at a later date. But I'd check and make sure.
Not true for most users - Connect is working without issue for me under Windows 10, for example.
For me DAZ Connect works fine although it has 2 irksome things - installs are much slowly to download than via DIM (or seems that way since you can't queue them easily) and after you download and install a product via DIM it is still nstallable via DAZ Connect for most of them and if you do install via DAZ Connect too then it say there is an update available afterwards when there is not, but maybe that is because I have some products installed twice - via DIM & via DAZ Connect (so there are two copies on my computer). DIM does not have this problem of saying their a updates available when their are not, unless you can that after you install a product with DIM, it is still listed as installable and is installable via DAZ Connect.
You can multi-select items to install them, most easily using the Install pane or the Available filter at the bottom of Smart Content>Products.
If there's an update showing that usually means the isntallation didn't complete - so Connect sees the missing files compared to the server version as a pending update. That seems to eb the case for me, at least.
Thanks. I will try multiselect so evening and let it run overnight.
I'm already having so many failed DAZ Connect installs (well they are completing but immediately claiming they need updates which is very unlikely and non-sensical really) they must be having either server problems or problems with their code fetching and matching the catalogue listings for those files. Out of like 30 different product I installed via DAZ Connect only 2 are shown as not needing updates.
The rest show as needing updates and some of those I've tried upwards of 20 times tp update and waited 2 or 3 months between updates to, to no avail.
So I think were possible I will stick with DIM although the programmer in me wants rid of these errorneous updates indicators in DAZ Connect product listings.
The updates do sound like an issue that could be reported to Daz, it could be a bug that shows only in certain situations.
OK, I will gather more information & do a few more tests and report a bug to them. I had read somewhere that they were always updating their 'Smart Content' catalogues categorizations and hadn't quite finished yet so I had put it off on that being the problem and ignored it.
The metadata is frequently updated, yes, but that will be downloaded automatically when you connect - it is used by the various product views so it has to be fetched before you can view or download updates, which should reflect changed content files.
