XP or 10.,,,,

BTW, when in doubt, many DOS commands still work.

Someone was claiming 8.1 was the OS of choice when running in really old
compatibility modes. I would think a 32 bit installation of Win7 would
be a good overall choice when running antique software. Better yet, get
rid of the antique software.

I've discovered that Win 8.1 Pro, 64-bit but a PITA without Start8, is very good with old stuff. Win 7 was good, 8.1 better, 10 not so good. OSX with Wine works very well for many programs.
Tough to get rid of antiques (an example outside of soaring: Sidekick 99) if nobody has produced a replacement.
