I have developed windows application in Delphi XE 5, I need to know that whether the application works fine on Windows 10 operating system? If not then which version on Delphi I should use
Yes, you can install XE5 on Windows 10, and the executables that it produces are compatible with Windows 10.
Embarcadero have been producing a lot of marketing that implies that you need XE8 to do Windows 10 development. Truth be told, you can use any version of Delphi beyond Delphi 1. Of course the newer versions make life easier, and clearly you need XE2 or later to target 64 bit executables.

Anybody know if delphi xe7 compatible with windows 10?
Embarcadero says that XE8 is compatible. But tells nothing about XE7.

So far as I can see, the only Windows 10 specific feature that is offered with XE8 is a Windows 10 style. That was what I took from a conversation with Marco Cantú on the subject. I guess that would be useful for FMX targets. If you are targeting classic VCL apps, and use the standard system theme, then this is of no interest. There's no point at all in faking the system style when you can let the system give you the true style. My old Delphi 6 applications, built with Mike Lischke's theme manager code, look and feel on Windows 10 identical to an application built with XE8.
Although Embarcadero says that XE8 is compatible with Windows 10, I'm unable to install or load our existing bpl projects using XE8 with Windows 10.
I moved to XE8 because our projects wouldn't build with Windows 10 using XE4.
You can install and run Delphi XE7 on a Windows 10 machine. And of course you can compile your projects on Windows 10.
But there were no enhancements made in the VCL or FireMonkey towards the new operating system. There is no official support for Windows 10. Your applications may not look and feel 100% like other applications do on Windows 10. But they can still be run as long as long as they don't use any old API that is no longer supported on Windows 10.

I would like to make sure I understand the powerful of Delphi correctly. it is possible to write code which will run on those three platforms: windows, MacOSx and IOS?!
How comes?
Is it possible to upload the delphi iOS app to Appstore?
Is it possible the program will run on linux as well?
Which Delphi version should I study ?
Q: Will a Delphi program run under Windows, MacOS and IOS?
A: Yes.
But Mac OSX support is only for newer versions of Delphi XE, and IOS support is for Delphi XE3 and is still in beta: http://www.embarcadero.com/products/delphi/ios-development.
Delphi use to support Linux under the (failed) Kylix brand.
The FreePascal and Lazarus projects are alive, well and fully open-source.
Free Pascal supports Linux ... Windows (Win32 and Win64; Win95, Win/XP, Win7, etc.), DOS, WinCE, OS/2, MorphOS, Nintendo GBA, Nintendo DS, and Nintendo Wii ... FreeBSD, Haiku, Mac OS X/iOS/Darwin. And even Raspberry Pi: http://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_on_Raspberry_Pi
Additionally, Delphi XE on .Net should run on both Windows and Linux implementations (.Net and Mono, respectively).
'Hope that helps
There is the Delphi FireMonkey framework, developed to provide single-source cross-platform development. It was included with Delphi starting in XE2.
Delphi XE2 FireMonkey natively supports 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, and 32-bit Mac OS X and iOS.
Delphi XE3 dropped the iOS support.
In December 2012, the Embarcadero R&D team was reported to have been working on iOS and Android support, with Windows 8 ARM and Linux server also coming.
It is possible in XE3 to upload an OS X app to the App Store. Embarcadero created a video of how to do it. It is likely that support for the App Store will be included when iOS support is added back.
Several years ago I used Delphi 4 Pro on a Windows '98 SE machine to create Delphi projects.
Would it be feasible to install the same Delphi 4 Pro on a Windows XP machine (or later OS, such as Windows 7) to view and update older Delphi projects?
I have run Delphi 4 on a variety of 32 bit operating systems without any problems, including 32 bit XP and Win7.
However, on 64-bit Windows 7, and other 64 bit varieties of Windows, including Windows Server 2008 R2, I have found that it is difficult to install, and does not run very well at all.
Moving your existing Delphi 4 code up to Delphi 2007 is probably not going to be very hard though. You should probably consider that option as well.
How to install Delphi 4 in windows 7(32 bit)
Exact same question, check there for an answer, at the worst you will have to run VM.
I know you are supposed to be able to build x64 apps in Delphi XE2...
I am using a paid version, the starter version.
I checked in options as well and it will not let me change to 64 bit. Only 32.
I am also running XE2 from a 64 bit machine.
Could it be because I have the starter version? If so that is kind of ridiculous, see as I paid over $200 for this software.
Read the Feature Matrix. The 64-bit compiler, OSX compiler, and FireMonkey framework are not available in the Starter edition.
The Windows Upgrade Advisor has told me there are 'known' issues with running Delphi 2010 on Windows 7, but I can't find them, does anyone know if there are, or if they've been fixed already?
D2010 works fine AFAIK. I've been using it on Windows 7 for a few months now without trouble.
There's a known issue for D2007 if you're running 64-bit Windows 7, and it's pretty serious. Fortunately, there's a patch for it. You can read about it and get the patch here.
I currently use both Delphi 2007 and Delphi 2010 on my Windows 7 Enterprise installation. I'm running the 32-bit version of Windows 7 on 64-bit hardware (corporate image).
I use Delphi 2007 every day on Windows 7 (and have since July) with no problems. I've also been using Delphi 2010 almost daily on Windows 7 since November, again with no issues.
