Windows 10: Installing old software using the original installation disk

For months I thought that Procomm Plus 4.8 would not install under Windows 10. I tried using various different compatibility settings, to no avail. Finally, I tried installing it using the original CD. It installed perfectly on a 64-bit system, with no compatibility settings needed. What magic is this?Now I am replacing a computer with a new one that has no DVD drive. I tried to install using a network shared DVD drive, but it didn't work. Windows notices that something is wrong and applies compatibility settings to the install

Install Diablo 3 on Linux

Just install PlayOnLinux? Why did they make step 2 and 3 of this "tutorial"?

Anyway, looking at the supported software list for PlayOnLinux, D3 is a step in the right direction. Lack of gaming is a factor for a lot of people when deciding on an OS, if more recent games get ported it may help migrate them to their preferred choice.

 

Steam does not install from disk?!?!

no you're doing steps 1 and 2 wrong. steam creates the directory, you stop steam and then you install the game from the disk to that directory.

also steam must be off, not in offline mode but off, aka no steam services in the task manager when you install the game.

 

Cannot clone original install

Are you dragging and dropping the partitions? The destination drive should be unallocated (clean). Then you click on Clone this disk under the source disk you want to make the clone of. Then you click on Select the disk to clone to in the bottom pane of the next window. Then you click on the destination drive that you want to clone to. Then you drag and drop the partitions you want to clone from the top (source drive) pane to the unallocated space on the bottom (destination drive) pane. You can click on the dropped partitions in the bottom pane and select partition properties to resize the partition when it is cloned. Once you get the destination drive looking the way you want to, click on finish.

Step 1: select Clone this disk under the source disk:




Step 2: Select destination disk





Step 3: Drag and drop partitions





Step 4: Select partition and select cloned partition properties to change the size





Step 5: Everything in desired place and desired size, click Finish
