Will Acid Music Studio 8 work with Windows 8.1?

I know this is old software, but I bought it a number of years ago for my Windows 7 laptop. Just found it in the pile of program CD's I have, and wanted to try to install it on my Windows 8.1 desktop, but didn't know if it would be a waste of time. Thank you for your help (version 8 is not anywhere on the support list for Magix tech support).

Hi @retrofan42 Officially I do not think it supported Windows 8, or 8.1 - primarily because AMS8 released before windows 8. That said there were not many architectural changes between Windows 7 and 8 that would have prevented it from working, so I would be surprised if it did not work.

AMS is also based, from what I could tell, on the Acid Pro 7 code base, and Acid Pro 7 worked fine on Windows 10, so I'm confident AMS8 will work just fine too.
