2.4.11 Compatible with Windows 8???

[denis | dcore]

Concerning point (1)

(1) My Windows 8 is on an SSD. I have heard that their write lifetime is
less than on a mag. disk, so I might leave my data files on the mag. disk.

I actually have Skydrive installed on Windows 8 and have my gnucash files
save into a folder in Skydrive.... So basically everything is synced to the
cloud at all times. Works perfectly since 2 months.

Might be a way for you to stop thinking about the reliability of the HD.
