I've got DaVinci Resolve on Windows 7, no issues, but it's an older version because it's running on Windows 7. Might have required the Microsoft C++ library, can't recall. Although it works perfectly fine, I hate that functions are hidden away to keep the user interface looking clean, rather than productive - everything in Sony Vegas is so obvious, so quick to access, intuitive and easy to use, much of the time I have little justification to use DaVinci or Adobe Premiere. Sony made very few interface changes after buying Vegas from Sonic Foundry, sadly Magix have nixed all that with a DaVinci Resolve makeover... so I can't recommend Magix Vegas to anyone - every function is now an additional click or several away, and doesn't behave as expected. Horrible and retrograde, but more functions, and might crash anytime - quite surprising for a German company, to have screwed things up so badly. Perhaps Magix is so cheap, it's not worth bug fixing or investing resources to programme properly. I fear Germans have hired Dutch programmers.
