Virtually all my old Windows apps will run in Wine (the Linux

in one of my Windows VM's.

Almost all of my systems here are native Linux. With this one being the
exception. A bit more testing, that I hope to complete before fall and
it too will be Linux native and Windows VM. Although, due to it's age,
I may cease running it into the ground and just harvest what I can use
from it. Which wouldn't be of any benefit to newer machines, but, most
certainly to older dedicated machines that you can't just
remove/replace.

Wine may be the saving grace for a lot of legacy Windows apps.

That and a VM running an older flavor of Windows, to give the older
app a proper home.

I tried everything suggested as far as possible but NG.

Same to you, "Good Guy".

Only a complete fool would tout customer satisfaction with Windows 10,
which is seriously lacking, over anything before, especially 7.

Udating when it and not you want it, telemetry, greater tax on
resources, inferior Edge browser, adverts, etc., etc.

Name a single significant advantage of 10 over 7. I had asked this and
nobody could ! Plenty the other way around.

You may want to review our email correspondence. What I offered wasn't
a suggestion, but a working 'fix' for your issue. It's no biggie
though. The offer still stands if you wish to take advantage of it.

In that case he should install Windows 10. That's the best
description I've ever heard of its users.
Leave XP and 7 to the pros.

Have you been seeing any "script" error dialogs ?

You see, if you don't mention *anything* for symptoms,
it won't tweak my crusty ole memory.

I seem to remember the last time I did WinXP here,
I had to install IE8, activate, and then remove it again...

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...XP-x86-ENU.exe

Note that, while that one "seems" like a standalone, the
later Internet Explorer versions use the graphics card
for acceleration. This means a particular DirectX might
need to be installed. And the installer is virtually silent
while it downloads the dependencies and installs them. I've
installed that a number of times, and once, I remember it
spending maybe 20 minutes downloading stuff. Most of the
time, the delay is a *lot* shorter, but if it seems to
go off on a downloading safari, don't be surprised.

And you might ask, why remove IE8 later ? For the sole reason
that Microsoft forced me to use it, that's why. I could have
left it there, but then, they would have "won".

Much thanks for that summary.

Don't see anything in those 21 that would make ME go for 10 (e.g. I
don't use a Windows phone, whatever that is).

On the other hand, my main objections (previous) still stand. Staying
with 7 for now.

It's an ad

I gave up he

//Most Windows users don't know the Alt-Tab keyboard combination to
see and switch between all running apps//

I'd recommend Win 10 to anyone that does not know that.
Icecream would be far more messy.

That applies to the OP who has very serious problems. First he is
struggling with Activation which has been around since 2001; Second, he
has bought a dead horse from eBay and expect it to give him pleasure;
third ... oh never mind. It is too time consuming to list them all here.

In summary the OP is a person of low intelligence who has serious
learning difficulties. Sounds oxymoron but here it is, nevertheless.

Hi Steve,

I work with both 7 and Nein (10). Here is what I see
as the advantages of Nein over 7.

1) Installation: the USB3 drivers are present and don't
have to be slip streamed.

2) Installation: the NVMe drivers are present and don't
have to be slip streamed.

3) Pretty sound effects.

4) You get to increase your vocabulary of four letter words,
filling the stratosphere with interesting dialog to
amuse astronauts re-entering the atmosphere.

5) And! You get to see me a lot more often!


:-)


It is a pretty thin list, but there you go.

Steve don't start with the windows 10 troll post again. That subject
gets a little boring after a while. Use whatever OS that makes you
happy. Nobody cares if one OS is better than the other. That subject
has been beaten to death.

You said you did not have the Pro version of XP so you no doubt have
the Home edition. This serial number works for the XP Home SP3
Edition:

RH6M6-7PPK4-YR86H-YFFFX-PW8M8

If that number doesn't work for you then we would need the version of
XP, with service pack info, which you are trying to activate. Home,
Pro, etc will have different serials. You can't use an XP Pro key to
activate XP Home.

Writing of 7, I picked up another tower for a really good deal (built
by a place I used to work for, so I trust it's component quality) and
it has Windows 7 Pro on it. I might elect to image it's drive before I
wipe and reload it with Linux. Preserve the key for sure. Might be good
for a later VM.

+10!

I _think_ - but I CBA to go back and look - that it is the home edition
of 7 he's got, and thus doesn't have "XP mode".

They already know about it. However, we are dealing with people of low
intelligence here so let them learn the hard way!!!!!!!!!

We seem to have more thieves here than genuine Windows users who could
be helped legitimately. The other day we had a chap called Peter
Cresswell and he was so ashamed that he was found out using a pirated
key (and pirated copies of all his applications) that he tried
everything possible to justify his actions. Mind boggles. His reasoning
was that he bought these copies on eBay for a fiver each so they must be
genuine. Perhaps I should start a business selling fake keys because I
can write key generators for most software if I am determined to do!!!!!!!!!
