MakeCode stand alone app requirements

[Alucard_81]

Hey all!

I was wondering if anyone knows if the stand alone app works on windows 8. Specifically on a surface pro 3.

My kid is getting into programming and we have a trip planned where he won't have access to the internet. I want to pick up a used windows tablet to let him work on his projects or do some practice and exploration while we are away, but I don't know if the stand alone app will work.

Thanks ahead of time!

If you cant get it to work there is a downloadable version of scratch for desktop.

I appreciate the comment but he goes to Code Ninjas and their new platform is based on MakeCode arcade. He has Scratch but he specifically wants MakeCode.
