Will Delphi 5 IDE run on windows 10?

I run Delphi 5 on a surface pro 3 (win 8.1) as well as win 7-64bit on a desktop. If the surface pro 3 is "upgraded" to win 10 will Delphi 5 continue to run properly?

It runs but more experimental, not recommend to develop something. On some machines the dbe installer stops during installation. The component bar dont show hints. It becomes unstable after termination of a debugged program some freezes the IDE. You should start delphi as administrator without compat. options otherwise you get very slow programs in debugging mode. Oh i forgot, some components are broken like the latest quickreport component produces errors like "no default printer available".

Yes, Delphi 5 will run on Windows 10. Of course, you need to deal with the fact that the IDE attempts to write to its installation directory which fails under a default installation under UAC. But you already know how to deal with that since you have experience running it on Windows 7 and Windows 8.
