On my current pc (stats above), I'm able to run all of the older programs I had on XP and Windows 98SE, with the exception of The Print Shop card program. I now have a new older version (LOL) installed on pc
Would I be able to run older programs on Windows 8? I have heard that Windows Pro will accept older programs and Windows 8 will not. Does anyone know?
The programs I'm looking at are Paint Shop Pro 9 and an older Nero program. On my current Windows 7 pc, I'm able to run PSP 7, 8, and 9, and a few other oldies but goodies.
I do not like the new versions of the PSP programs, so that's why I've remained with PSP9 and older.
Thanks for any information.
