    Some time ago, the MS had a nice list on his site about the functionality of different versions of Windows (vista /7/8_32/64bit) and their versions, and possible functionality complications, were listed. Is there something like this anywhere? They everywhere pushes to upgrade to W10, but I need to verify the use of older versions of programs on older OSs.
    thanks for the reaction

    That would be nice to have, but not necessarily be 100% accurate. Different folks have different experiences with Win10 and older apps. For example, I've read where folks install one of the Corel programs (version 12 of CorelDraw) on their Win10 computer and post that it works perfectly. I tried to install it using the detailed instructions they provided and although most of it works, some of it does not. Same thing with Office 2000. Most of it works, some of it doesn't. But at least it gives me an idea of what might work, and how it could be installed...
