Re: Early Versions of Windows

i just got rid of a load of old discs for pc windows 95 - 2000.
as i no longer could use these on the current laptop it freed up some cupboard space.

I know. Its heart breaking when your fave games/software won't run on the latest computers.

You can actually ask it to run on earlier versions of Windows
Right click then hit "Troubleshoot Compatibility"

I had one that will run under Windows XP but couldn't get the sound to work.

I still have a PC running Windows 3.1 and a few 286s that run DOS.

Re: Early Versions of Windows

To go off topic a wee bit - I use Office 2013 at work but keep an old PC handy with Windows XP and Office 2002 on it for the occasional compatibility issues with colleagues still on XP.

I always try to avoid using Office 2002 if I can because whenever I do I am reminded of how it beats that stupid ribbon tool bar hands down.

I have fond memories of XP, but I can accept changes to windows a lot more easily than to Office.
