Windows 10 Home Users & Windows XP-10 Pro or Ultimate Users
We all have programs we all love & use .. When we get a new computer or upgrade Windows to a newer version,, Sometimes our programs & plugins does not work in the new Windows Version ..
In Windows 7 or 10 you can run programs or plugins in a earlier Windows versions in a older Windows Version compatibility mode.
