CTD - it's not just a job
|
Steam is convenient, and does hold your hand in many ways, but yeah... I have lost more than one game over the years due to "designed obsolescence"... I had just gotten the hang of alternate boot disks for DOS when it went away, along with a LOT of DOS-based games... lol - simpler, but more complex times then. I even have a couple of games that ended up being Win98SE only... sigh - one of my "professional" audio cards and its "Included FREE" software were like that also. They were supposed to be Win2k compatible, but they never were, apparently...

Took the plunge
Okay guys, I took the plunge, downloaded win 10 from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...load/windows10 Saved it to a flash drive. Installed it, and it worked relatively pain free. Didn't even have to buy a new key for 10. It used the 7 key automatically. Only thing with steam was some of my icons were blank and no longer connected to the games. A few older games that I had trouble with on 7 now work fine on 10 from the steam library, just have to make some new desktop icons after deleting the old ones.. All the SH4 mods and icons were hunky dory! Recommend you save all your drives before you take the plunge just in case.
