    Best Way to Install Legacy Applications in Win10/Pro x64?


    I am running Win10/Pro x64 version 19042.804 or 20H2

    At 81 I'm no longer interested in spending my limited remaining hours learning new razzle-dazzle software.
    I've finally given in and am moving to Win10 from Win7. I'd like to install legacy software for which I still have official CDs, e.g., Office 2000, Acrobat 9, PSE-6, Autosketch 9, and software of that generation. It has run fine for me on Win7. I'm certainly not interested in a monthly subscription arrangement.

    Do I need to take special steps to install it and use it effectively under Win10?

    Stay safe!

    :)

    Download Media Win10 Pro x64 - Build 1607 or 1511

    Hello,

    I need a bootable installation media for Win10 Pro x64 - Build 1607 or 1511 however, Media Creation Tool only downloads 1709 which is not allowed for my application.

    How can I get Win10 Pro x64 - Build 1607 or 1511 installation media?

    Best regards!

    Best Way to Install Legacy Applications in Win10/Pro x64?

    "Application Install install package failure!" while installing 13.9

    Running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and MSI 6970 Lightning.

    I was upgrading from 13.4 after I did a clean uninstall with AMD Catalyst Install Manager.

    Doesn't say what installation failed in the install log. Everything in the log says Success but at the very bottom it says "Application Install: install package failure!" but doesn't say what failed to install.

    I only install video drivers and no CCC.

    The only thing I noticed is AMD Catalyst Install Manager is not listed in my programs list.
