    If you are running a newer 64 bit os and want to run 20 year old appz an older os in a vm works nicely. Some older engineering appz are like R n R, they just never die, but with a vm that problem is cleanly solved. We will not buy windows 10 due to advertising, appz, start screen metro and not because we still run these old appz, which we will continue to do in a vm while running 7 64 bit.

    It is a clean solution so yes MS could say f#!k all the 20 year old appz and we would not blink. We just run them windowed and they calculate what we need.

    Regards

    That's not an Windows 10 TP problem! Seems to be that have to do with your network settings, maybe an timeout implemented or such. Check that settings. Could althogh be an driver problem!

    Absolutely, you can VM Windows XP, OS X 10.1, hell even Windows 95 (or worse, my VM softwares have usually shown Windows 3.11 as an option).

    If someone is then going to say that their business runs on 20+ year old machines that not only can't be upgraded, but also can't virtualize, then THEY are 100000% at fault. Update your worthless trash HW to any sub-par bottom of the barrel new PCs and you'll be able to at least run an XP VM per box. The cheapest piece of crap these days runs circles around a 15 year old desktop.

    I've actually heard of an organization around where I live that provides services to schools and libraries that uses a custom OS and hardware from the 80's. They say that they can't upgrade, too expensive, and that software is just oh-so-unreplacable (AKA they don't want to pay one of the thousands of dev companies ready, willing, and able to remake it from scratch using modern and standard technologies). But they pay the devs who made that OS and software, and pay them very well, because they are the only people on the planet that understand that custom OS and custom programming language.

    I don't blame anyone not moving off 7 though. Many just got it, and 8.X is a cluster. I wouldn't recommend buying for business until the insanity stops, which could take longer than Windows 10.

    Wasn't it that Microsoft were stopping al the rest of services in November last year for Windows 3.11?!

    I still running on an XP machine some more than 20years old software like Micrografx Windows Draw and Image Pals from Ulead. Corel Deaw 2.0 also is on that machine because we still sometimes nedd the old data from the '80s

    And I maybe install an new machine special for to run with the different VM's for to get old Sopftware back to run like GeoWorks Ensemble, GEM, EUMEL and others!

    Thanks for the hint CODY!

    Yeah virtualization is a God send for anyone just stuck with dinosaur software in their industry, and any PC made within a reasonable time should handle those older OS in a VM OK. But you absolutely don't have to have the whole PC stuck behind. No reason not to have most PCs on a modern OS but still be able to VM up those apps.

    I run XP all the way up to 10 on VMs, along with Android and an OS X VM. This is on a Mac as well. There is nothing out there I can't run if I need it. Most apps I use are cross-platform (or have alternatives I like), but Visual Studio and MP3Tag are programs for example I have a Windows VM for.

    It was even what MS tried to recommend, we'll give you XP in a box in W7, but they didn't push it right and their handling of Vista and the bad economy left them cautious on making the jump.

    I've a lot older hardware lying 'around' such as the older OS's as originals, just not use any more. And that Machine would be just an 32bit machine in which I could run native 16bit apps too. The VM would be special for some even older 8bit Software, special the old RM Cobol!

    I'll at least install VM-Ware, Virtual Box, Virtual PC and others what I could get legally but have yet. First 3 I've the Originals licensed.

    What really would be interesting for me is that 8bit will works correctly. If it does, I'll have a lot of fun to use my very old staff again!!

    But I wouldn't like to have all of that staff on my normal machnes, so an extra machine for that I recommend.

    VirtualBox & Virtual PC (2007) are free softwares (VirtualBox is open source too) ~ no need for 'original license'.

    you need to go to "pc settingsĀ»- "network"-"Manage"-" open network flyout" connect your usb and dial "*99#" if your number corresponds.
