In Reply to: RE: For those using Windows and want to avoid Win 10 "upgrade." posted by Sondek on May 18, 2016 at 08:54:55
Or other peripherals? Are Win 98 software (like Duncan TDSL tube database) compatible?

I also regularly have to consciously avoid that Win10 upgrade icon, on my "clean"(-ish) W7 laptop.
I use lots of instruments and some slightly irregular external hardware with it, and some of the hw is quite picky about how it's interfaced with Windows. There are plenty of reported problems with Win10 while the drivers are being updated. But for mainstream stuff, I doubt you'll have many probs, that stuff gets taken care of quickly, it's the smaller manufacturers who dawdle, or just won't support Win10 except if you buy their *new* version.
No problems at all with peripherals or printers, but then I upgraded all those devices since Win 7 has been out so I'm not trying to run serious legacy hardware. I have no idea about the Duncan TDSL, but I suspect it'd be okay. The issues we did run into had to do with her animation programs that depend on DirectX 9 and older versions of C++ runtime. I do get your concern though. It's one thing to put up 10 and try it, but something entirely different to go back if you find you don't like it or something refuses to run. From what I've seen so far the don't like it concern is pretty minimal. It is nowhere near the complete break Win 8 tried to make from previous versions and I'm liking the look/feel. The won't run some program part is a legit concern though and no way to tell for sure without trying. It's probably a shot in the dark, but wonder if there's anything to be found via google regarding the Duncan program?
