I've been using Corel Draw X5 and now realize after buying a new PC it is not compatible with Windows 8.1. Corel says Win 8.1 didn't exist when they were designing X5. Fair enough. So, I'm thinking of upgrading to Corel Draw X7. However, I've heard that Windows 10 is on the horizon. If I upgrade to Win 10, will I then expect the current version of Corel Draw to not be compatible?
I'd wait. I made the mistake of updating to X7 for the same reasons and it's been a nightmare. I really only had issues with PhotoPaint X5 with effects blowing up in Windows 8.1 but Draw X5 seemed to work OK.
X7 will only frustrate you with how buggy it is. If you're counting on bugs from X5 being fixed in X7 think again. Most still exist.
Some other new bugs/annoyances:
If you're lucky, *maybe* they'll have fixed some of the problems with X7 by the time Windows 10 ships.
