New Computer Installation and Related
I'm thinking about buying a new computer which uses Windows 8.1 for an OS. Before doing so, I've got a couple of questions. Sorry if this is the wrong place for such things. I'd appreciate any help/suggestions or a reference to where I should look for such information.
1) Does CC3 and related material (DD3, CD3, Annuals) run on Windows 8.1?
2) Will re-installing these programs count against my 3 installs? I'm planning on un-installing from the old computer when the time comes.
3) What will happen to all the maps I've done on the old computer? Will they show a bunch of red X's? Is there any way to preserve them, or would they pretty much be gone?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

1. As long as you remember to right click to install as administrator for EVERYTHING, it all runs fine.
2. I can't speak for ProFantasy, but my understanding is that as long as you only have three installs on computers that you own, you're fine. For example, I have an install on my old laptop, my new laptop, and my desktop. When I finish building my new desktop I'll uninstall from the old desktop so that I only ever have three installs active at any time.
3. I transferred my maps over to my new PC. Everything worked fine except for a blunder that was my own fault. I had added many of my own fill styles using the absolute location of the file rather than the relative to CC3. Red X's galore...hehe. Fixing is a simple matter of replacing the old file location with the # symbol in the Fill Style Properties to make it relative to CC3.
