Good evening.

I know it's a bit of an old game but I have a small problem. a friend asked me to introduce him to qbasic, but the problem is that on his machine he has Windows 10. I would like to know if there exists a version of QBasic that is compatible with his OS so that I can install it on his machine.

Thank you

    Hello,

    The link you included in your question lets you download the latest version which should work on Windows 10, even if it’s not stated in the presentation.

      Good evening,
      Qbasic was designed a long time ago and without knowing 64-bit!
      I found this:
      Before running the Basic program, simply disable (DO NOT uninstall) the graphics card.
      This way you can use Qbasic or Gwbasic without problems.
      When you exit the basic program, you can then re-enable the graphics card.      (source microsoft)
