  1. Will you still be selling copies of older versions of windows after support ends?


    The reason I ask is in the event something goes wrong and I want to re-install or re-format my computer with a copy of an older version of windows.Failing that is there a way to entirely uninstall one-drive and co-pilot as they are reasons I will not be upgrading to windows eleven?Failing that is there a distribution of windows that will run on a Linux virtual environment without hassle so I can still play my games?

    :)

  2. Swapping to an older version of windows

    Is there still an official way to drop back to an older version of windows, I honestly don't mind using a 3rd party way. If possible, can you list step by step instructions or a link to an easy to use website. Thanks.

    GPU-Z legacy OS and older graphics card support

    There are no plans to support anything older than Windows XP.

    No support for Matrox either, until they step up and provide some documentation how to detect things.

    Few S3 cards are supposed from back when I had a contact window to the company.

    Older version of Software's are not supported in Windows 10

    Since you don't want me to, I won't suggest buying a newer version, but I'll point out that if it is not supported in windows 10, it is not supported in windows 10.

    You essentially have four choices:

    1. Run Windows Defender, which comes with Windows 10.

    2. Run some other anti-virus program, for example a free one like Avast.

    3. Buy a newer version.

    4. Run an older version of Windows and run your antivirus on it.

    And let me also point out that there's nothing new about Windows 10 in this respect. Whenever a new version of Windows comes out, there is always some older software that won't run on it.
