Installing SH4 in Windows 10

Jeff, I think Windows 8.1 and 10 will run SH3, 4, and 5 if it's the 32 bit OS... at least better than the 64 bit version. I can't run any of them with the 64 bit version. I've even reinstalled XP for playing SH3, 4, and 5. None loaded yet but 3 should be this weekend. Remember, SH3 was built to run on an XP 32 bit system. XP 64 bit had to be finessed to get it to run properly.

What I need to do is get 8.1 32 bit installed on a HDD and see what happens. I'm even thinking of going to Windows 7 32 bit and getting rid of 8.1 altogether.

I also have found software from LapLink called PC Mover Ultimate that will let you "transfer" programs from one computer to another without having to reinstall them and use a key code.
