If software won't run after being installed in Win 10, you can set its Compatibility Mode to Win 7 and that should solve most problems. Right-click the app's icon and select Properties. Click the Compatibility tab and check the box "Run in compatibility mode for..." and choose Win 7 from the drop-down list. If there still are issues, Win 10 is good at making changes to try to get that software to run. If you don't use firewire, it's no great loss. But there are details on the web about installing a firewire driver that appears to work with Win 10.  And there are always add-in PCI-e firewire cards that are designed to work with Win 10.
Hi, Dell Studio 540, Windows 7 SP1, Pro 64. Am aware that support for Windows 7 has ended - yet this Dell machine has pending updates, plus perhaps over a year's worth - which do not appear at all? The Windows update window just goes on forever & never downloads anything. There are also 'cancelled' updates shown, which I have never cancelled. Plus the dates conflict - documented 2020 attempts to update are matched by entries showing nothing happening since 2016. Makes no sense to me. Have boot-scanned, everything okay. Is this a BIOS issue? Thanks. [IMAGE]
