The short answer is yes, Family Tree Maker 2010 is fully compatible with Windows 7.
The Family Tree Maker team has been working with Windows 7 for several months-even prior to the release of Family Tree Maker 2010. Since the "Release to Manufacture" (RTM) version of Windows 7 was released last August, we have done additional testing in our labs as well as with alpha and beta customers with no indication of incompatibility. Family Tree Maker 2008 and 2009 are also compatible with Windows 7.
As a point of interest, it may be helpful for people to know that we continually test Family Tree Maker with 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
If you find a problem while running Family Tree Maker on your operating system, the best course of action is to contact customer support which can usually help you identify and solve the problem.

A Standard Ancestor Tree on FTM Version 10 will not save as a PDF File and everytime I try it closes FTM without shutting down properly. I have windows 7 installed on my HP Destop.

I have not used Windows 7 for some time, but I think PDF is one of your printer choices. You should be able to choose print from within FTM, and use the drop down printer menu to choose PDF as the printer. FTM also has a help section on their website.

I am running windows 7 and I would like to know how to install an old version of printmaster silver 10 on windows 7

Printmaster 10 may not work with Windows 7. Just uninstall Printmaster 2012 then install Printermaster 10 using the installation CD.
I recommend you go to the Printmaster support site and ask them if version 10 will work with Windows 7 so you do not have to uninstall 2012 version if version 10 will not work with Windows 7.

I cannot install toshiba satellite m70-340 in win 7

If you have a Windows 7 cd/dvd, do the following to install it on your computer:
1. Put the CD in the CD / DVD drive or tray. 2. Restart the computer. 3. At the moment you power on your computer, there should be words along the bottom of the screen. Look for 'BIOS Setup', then press the corresponding function key for that setup (such as 'F2' or 'Delete'). 4. You should be presented with a blue screen with a bunch of options. Look for something along the lines of 'Advanced Options'. Use the arrow keys to select this option, and press the enter key on the keyboard. 5. Now look for 'Boot Priority'. Arrow down or up to this option, and press enter. Look for CD-ROM. Arrow down to this option and press the PLUS (+) key on the keyboard until the option is at the top of the list. 6. Press F10 to save and restart. 7. When the computer restarts, text along the bottom will say "Press any key to boot from CD-ROM'. Press any key to start up from the Windows 7 installer. 8. Once the installer loads, select your language and click 'Next'. 9. If you want to upgrade from an earlier version of Windows, which will retain your programs and files, choose 'Upgrade'. Sometimes this will not work, so you will then have to choose 'Advanced or Clean Installation'. This will overwrite your previous version of Windows with Windows 7, but it will also move all of your old stuff to a folder called 'Windows.old'
This will be located in your C:/ drive. To access it after the installation, open the start menu, click on 'Computer', and look for something labeled "C:/". Click on it and look for a folder labeled 'Windows.old'. Open this folder. If upgrading from Windows Vista, look for a folder labeled 'Users', and click on it. For XP, click on Documents and Settings, then Users. Look for the foler with your user name and click on it. In here will be all of your documents, music, pictures, videos, etc. To move these into Windows 7, simply drag the contents of each folder into the corresponding Windows 7 folder. For example, you would open the 'My Documents' folder in Windows.old as well as from the start menu in Windows 7. Drag the documents from the old 'documents' folder into the 'new' documents folder.
10. Follow along with the installation, clicking 'next' when required to and waiting for it to complete. The computer will restart several times. DO NOT CLICK ANY BUTTONS OR TOUCH ANY KEYS WHILE IT IS RESTARTING. 11. When the installation is complete, Windows 7 will be ready to go, but if you did a clean install you must now install drivers, which make all of the parts of your computer work proper;y together. Go to the Toshiba Support website, and look for a link that says 'Drivers' or 'Downloads'. When you get to this page, type in your model number so that you find the correct drivers for your computer.
Download and install all of the drivers on the page. If there are different versions (32 and 64-bit), check to see which version of Windows you have. To do so, open the start menu, right click on 'Computer', and click 'Properties'. In the window that opens, you will see what version of Windows you have near the top of the screen. It will say either 32 or 64 bit, then you would download the corresponding drivers for your version.
One all the drivers are installed, restart your computer. Your Windows installation is now complete.

Can i convert a 32 bit to a 64 bit

You can use the Upgrade option during Windows 7 installation, which preserves your files, settings, and programs, only if you're currently running a 32-bit version of Windows Vista and you want to upgrade to the 32-bit version of Windows 7. Similarly, if you are running a 64-bit version of Windows Vista, you can only perform an upgrade to a 64-bit version of Windows 7. For more information, go to Upgrading to Windows 7: frequently asked questions on the Windows website.
If you want to move from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows 7 or vice versa, you'll need to back up your files and choose the Custom option during Windows 7 installation. Then, you'll need to restore your files and reinstall your programs. For more information about performing a custom installation, see Installing and reinstalling Windows 7‍.
gl_ico.png Notes
  • To install a 64-bit version of Windows 7 on a computer running a 32-bit version of Windows, you'll need to start, or boot, your computer using a 64-bit Windows 7 installation disc or files.
  • If you start your computer using a 64-bit Windows 7 installation disc or files, but your computer isn't capable of running a 64-bit version of Windows, you'll see a Windows Boot Manager error. You'll need to use a 32-bit Windows 7 installation disc or files instead.
  • Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer files from a 64-bit version of Windows to a 32-bit version of Windows. If you're running a 64-bit version of Windows Vista but you plan to install a 32-bit version of Windows 7, you can move your files to an external location manually or use Backup and Restore in Windows Vista. For more information, go to Back up your files and

I upgraded my computer and reinstalled Mathcad 13 on my new computer. The installation wizard said the installation was successful but I can't get it to run. The new computer has Windows 7 operating...

My guess is that the engineers at PTC haven't figured out how make their products compatible with Windows 7! I painfully found that MathCad 14, 13, 11 do not work on Windows 7 (I have Windows 7 Pro)! They install, but the application can't even start! However, MathCad 2000 does work on this outstanding platform; I was amazed! You could use that version in the meantime, hoping that PTC will solve this problem soon! Or install Mathcad 14 on the virtual PC that works in XP mode.
