I am building a POS terminal and I am going to run Windows 8.1.  Should I install the 32 bit edition or the 64 bit edition?

    Thanks for the quick answer.  The manufacturer recommends using Windows 7.

    COMPATIBILITY MODE SOFTWARE:

    1. Place the applications installation file on the Desktop.

    2. Right Click the applications installation file and select Properties/Compatibility Tab. Select the appropriate options from the list in the following image.

    3. Click Apply/OK.

    4. Right Click the file and select the Run As Administrator option to install.

    I also recommend that you check with the maker of that software program and inquire about future support for Windows 8/8.1.

    It's irrelevant now, I am using add-ons that are not 8/8.1 compatible.
