My Advice About Windows 11 and Adobe Captivate

My advice about Adobe Captivate and Windows 11…

Within the last month or so I've seen some questions and comments on the forums from users attempting to use Adobe Captivate on M1 Macs. It distresses me that some users don't do the research before upgrading their hardware or software before learning the hard way that one may not always be compatible with the other.

That's why I want to try to be preemptive with my advice about Adobe Captivate and Windows 11. An early unofficial release of Windows 11 has surfaced on the internet and many tech journalists have installed it to get the scoop in the tech news space. You might be tempted to find this download and install it on your computer, but my advice is to hold off.

I get it. I love shiny new things, especially in the tech industry, but I'm a practical person as well. I never update software on my production machine until I'm confident that it's not going to impact my work. I also tend not to install recent updates until the completion of any projects I'm presently working on. I have a secondary computer in my home that I don't use for work related stuff. I might install Windows 11 on that machine first, but only once an official release of the software is available. There may be bugs that Microsoft hasn't anticipated but we also have no way of knowing if Adobe Captivate will work well with this new OS. I'm sure that Adobe is hard at work partnering with Microsoft to ensure all its software will be compatible with the new OS. Be patient and only update when you are confident this innovative technology isn't going to prevent you from getting your work completed for your employer or your clients.
