    I have a piece of software that only runs in Win7, 32bit. How can I run it in Win10?

    I tried Virtualbox but it's too slow.

    Windows 7 compatible software?

    Carrythomas,

    Have you tried to run the application through compatibility mode? AutoCad 2010 is Windows 7 compatible however other versions may require compatibility mode procedures.

    To get your questions answered on the most common challenges around application compatibility when coming from a legacy operating system, why changes were made along the way, compatibility technologies inside the OS and methods for getting incompatible applications to run on Windows 7, please go here: http://tinyurl.com/yfa2yyz

    Windows 7 compatible software?

    This shortcut is absolutely useless for the system and security programs because they dig deeply in the operation system and if they not compatible with Windows 7, this system is running them only in virtual work regime. Then these programs actually don't work, you only can install and open them in Windows 7.
