I have Windows 7, and I want to check how my website works on IE 10. Unfortunatly, I can't setup Win 8 to virtual box.
You need Windows 8 to use IE10 currently (Microsoft's website).
Luckily you can get Windows 8 preview here and install it with virtual box, but be sure to grab the iso (tutorial).
Update:
IE10 is now available for Windows 7.
IE11 is available as well.
Internet Explorer 10 is not supported by Windows 7 for this Beta.
You will have to wait more time to get it on Windows 7 (if Microsoft wants to release it on Windows 7) or try to install Windows 8 Consumer Preview (Get it here) on your Virtual Box or on a special hard disk to try your website.
You can find a good tutorial about installing Windows 8 with VirtualBox here :
VirtualBox Install - Windows 8 Consumer Preview
Another good way is to use BrowserStack which let you try IE10 from this website for 30 minutes (free version), you can find it there : BrowserStack - Online Browser but you may have some bugs with the Internet Explorer 10 option.
Check any online renderer, as
http://netrenderer.com/
It served me well, and you can also define the starting position where to start the actual output. IE version is definable as well, and 10 Consumer Preview is here too.
I develop web stuff on GNU/Linux, and IE is not an option for me in testing. But I only need visual preview, so this made it easier many many times before :-)
You can setup Virtual Box for Windows 8 following this tutorial.
Tutorial
Although IE 10 will be available for Windows 7 only after general availability for Windows 8 is announced i.e late October 2012. But you can currently install the preview of IE 10 on your Win7 machine and test your webpage You can download it here
Update
IE 10 is now available for Windows 7. You can download it here.
Your best bet for now is to install Windows 8 and use it on there. However, if you're stuck to Windows 7 for some reason, Microsoft have announced IE10 will support Windows 7 at release:
When it's released, Internet Explorer 10 will be available for Windows
7, Windows 8, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Server 2012.
So you could just wait it out and get the final release on Windows 7 in a few months.
Alternatively, IE10 Platform Preview 2 apparently works on Windows 7:
The most recent release for Windows 7 was Internet Explorer 10
Platform Preview Build 2, on June 29, 2011.
IE10 PP2 is old tech and might not be the best thing for testing on, since the real IE10 is probably different. Still, it may be better than nothing.
You can use the online tools like http://netrenderer.com/ or http://browsershots.org/ to get the browser shots of your site.
Also, there is a great tool to test sites in IE 5.5 - 10, it's called IETester. You can download it from http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage
How about vmware player? It's also free.
And here is the instruction how to deploy Windows 8 on it: http://ludwigkeck.wordpress.com/2012/03/01/windows-8-on-vmware-player/

Does Windows Server 2022 support Powershell 7?
Based on what I've seen so far, it looks like it supports 5.0 out of the box.
I've googled around a bit and it looks like it's supported on Windows 10/11, Windows Server 2012, 201 and 2019.
It surprised me to not see Windows Server 2022 listed.
PowerShell 7 is supported in Windows Server 2022 as shown here, along the different install option.
Windows
7.2 (LTS-current)
7.3
7.4 (preview)
Windows Server 2016, 2019, or 2022
Supported

While I cannot answer your question from experience with Server 2022, I think I can safely say "Yes" to your question based on my experience with the downloadable Zip version of PowerShell 7.x.
That downloadable version works on anything and everything Windows I've placed it on, including Windows PE! Download it, unzip it, run the "pwsh.exe" file in it, and start testing your code!
I have a full fledged app built for windows 8.1...
Through my research, I discovered that the api changes between 8.1 and 10 is nt that much and an app built for 8.1 will work on 10..
So my question now is will a windows 10 app work on windows 8.1?
If yes, how can I go about it?
I've created a report on changes for WinAPI 8 vs WinAPI 10 that may help you to discover differences in details. It's available on this page. The report is generated with the help of the ABI-CC tool.
Since apps built for WP8.1 don't work on WP8, then I doubt that Windows 10 Mobile apps will work on WP8.1. As far as I'm aware, there are more differences between those two systems' API than between 8.1 and 8.0
Btw, are you asking about the desktop systems or the mobile ones (as the tag you used suggests)?
I'm looking to get started on a pretty simple Windows Store app. It'll be distributed inside a business, not public (there's a more specific way to say that but...). It seems you can't get past the very first step of installing Visual Studio if you aren't on Windows 8.1. I have a Win8 device (a Surface Pro 3), but I'd be more comfortable developing on my Windows 7 Desktop. Long question to say, do I have to purchase a Windows 8 license to run a VM on my Desktop for development? Or is there an easier way to get Visual Studio installed and started? Windows Dev guidelines, just kinda jump over that little step...
Not sure why you would keep a 5 year old OS on your desktop, but you do need Windows 8 to do Windows 8 development. Not sure if there's any way to develop on Windows 7 and do remote debugging to a Windows 8 device - I doubt that, but that would be much more painful anyway than debugging on your dev box.
Yes, you need a license even for VM. However, Microsoft has the best support for developers and you can find some programm that will be suitable for you. BizSpark, DreamSpark, AzureCloud etc. Maybe you'll be able to get all the software for free.
Regarding the new system, Windows 8 is same as Windows 7 in desktop mode. Except start menu. So, you can install Pokki or Start8 to 'fix' it.
I'm creating apps for windows phone pretty much since the beginning and I was wondering..
Will the Windows Phone apps run on Windows 10 (for Phone) ?
I could not find an answer anywhere and I wonder if the Windows Phone store will just disappear with the new version of Windows.
As Erno said: We don't know yet. But there have been a few clues indeed. I got a newsletter a week ago where Microsoft issued a new challenge on DVLUP that suggests making apps ready for Windows Phone 10 means at least porting them to Windows Phone 8.1:
https://www.dvlup.com/Challenge/c37655f6-1d31-4a67-aa20-dea314a7a03b
Also you can find this statement:
We’re more committed than ever to making sure that you can leverage your work to reach more customers, regardless of where they are, what device type they’re on, or what operating system they’re running. The best way to start preparing for Windows 10 is to start building universal Windows apps today for Windows 8.1.

So with all this in mind Windows 10 seems to drop Silverlight for Windows Runtime (at least they are heavily promoting migrating apps there).
After upgrading my 830 to Windows 10 preview, it seems like even Windows phone 7 apps still work under Windows 10 for phone.
I still wonder how are they going to handle the different stores though.
Anyway, I got my answer.
Wait and see !
Am sure that a Windows Phone 8.1 silver light app would continue to run on Windows 10 Mobile you don't even need to upgrade to Windows 10 OS running Visual Studio 2015 to manage your app on Windows 10 Mobile you can continue to develop with the existing development environment(Windows 8.1 and VS 2013). For the query related to the store please follow the link Get ready for the Unified Dev Center dashboard preview and upcoming Store changes
I don't have Windows 8 on my computer. However, I have the Consumer Preview version of Windows 8 installed. Is there any way to create apps for Windows 8 on the Consumer Preview version? Visual Studio for Windows 8 doesn't install as it gives numerous errors.
To use the final release of Visual Studio 2012 to build Windows Store apps, you will need to use the Windows 8 RTM build.
You wouldn't want to use the Windows 8 Consumer Preview to develop Windows Store apps anyway--there have been substantial changes to the platform, frameworks, and tools between the Consumer Preview and the RTM build.
The short answer is you cannot develop Windows Store apps without Windows 8 RTM or greater.
If you don't wish to install/partition your hard disk following is a neat idea to get windows 8 installation going without having to partition your drive.

See, Windows 8 Apps use Windows 8 APIs such as Directories and all .
