Microsoft Surface Pro Tablet & TMG?

Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried using MS Surface Pro with the Intel chip to run TMG? I've heard the Surface Pro will run Visual FoxPro.

 

Thanks

Hi Mark,

 

I don't know anything about the Surface Pro Tablet, but I believe TMG requires a full Windows OS. Most tablets do not run that OS, instead run a limited but similar OS. If that is true of this tablet, then I would be surprised if TMG ran on it.

The Surface Pro with a keyboard is just another form of a notebook.

 

The Surface Pro should run TMG just like a desktop since it uses Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 and not Windows RT.

 

Since TMG is a legacy application and isn't designed for touch, you'll likely need to use a keyboard add-on.

 

There is an issue that TMG has with Windows 8 that is discussed is other topics in this forum and there is a work-around. For example...
