Old Photo Software On Windows 10 How To

[IBBDGRL]

I want to put Adobe Photo Deluxe 3.0 on my new windows 10 desktop. Best user friendly photo software ever made. Is there any way this is possible?

Yes, it should be easy. Just load the DVD of Photo Deluxe and follow the directions from there.

Photo Deluxe was an application from 2000. Win 95/98/NT.
It is almost certainly a 16 bit application, and will not run natively in a modern OS.

You might get away with Compatibility mode, but I wouldn't count on it.

I understand the love for that particular application, but in the intervening 15 years, there have been many, many new applications to do the same and better, a lot of them free.

As USAFRet has pointed out, if the software is 16 bit software you might run into problems. If the software is 32 bit, then it should run alright.

Best thing to do is try.

It was on my old Dell Windows XP and worked great. Will it do any harm to my new Dell All In One Windows 10 if I just try loading it? Thanks

It won't do any damage.
The only consequence might be...it does not run.

Going to try it, thanks to you both for the responses. Have a Great Independence Day.
