MTGO Library Bot 10.15

ML Bot version 10.15 is compatible with Windows 10. Previous versions, in fact, had problems with Windows 10 and the bot was not able to work properly.

Still, given the many problem that Windows 10 is having with virtual machines & unscheduled reboots (read more here: http://mtgolibrary.blogspot.com/2015/08/another-chapter-in-windows-10-saga.html, here: http://mtgolibrary.blogspot.com/2015/08/virtualbox-update.html and here: http://mtgolibrary.blogspot.com/2015/08/i-have-made-mistakes-dont-make-them.html), we DO NOT recommend to upgrade your copy of Windows 7 or 8 to Windows 10 yet.

As for anything that can affect your business, we suggest to wait till Windows 10 is stable and mature (at least a couple of months)

Virtualization - How to setup a virtual machine - v4 - Bot manual

What is a virtual machine?

A virtual machine is a computer inside a computer that allows you to run a fully functional Operating system or in our case a bot without interruption of your main computer. 

How many machines can I run on my computer?

This all depends on your computer specs, typically each virtual machine takes about 1 CPU, 2.5gb of ram, and 20 gb of hard disk space. Keep in mind you need to keep 1 cpu and 4 gb of ram open for the main operating system. 

How do I set a virtual machine up?
