Okay, thank you, James. My incorrect assumption that Legacy 6 would not
play well with Windows 10 was based on this: When I started with Legacy
6, I used XP. A few years ago, I changed to Windows 7. At that time, my
Legacy program simply would not open with the new operating system. I
was able to utilize the help of someone from this group, at that time,
who spent a lot of time off-group, even with a Skype session, helping me
to get everything to work. It was my understanding that the problem was
because of the operating system and that I should consider upgrading to
a newer Legacy version if I encountered further problems. As I say, that
was my understanding at the time; perhaps I misunderstood, or perhaps I
was given incorrect or incomplete information. Either way, it has been
in the back of my mind that when I changed operating systems again, I
should be ready to upgrade to the latest Legacy version. I see now that
I was laboring under a false assumption/conclusion.
Thank you,
Barbara

Barbara, Legacy 6 works perfectly well with Windows 10, I notice no
difference since Windows XP and 8.1. As someone else indicated, if you
upgrade to Legacy 8, make a copy of your Legacy 6 file to transfer to
Legacy 8, keeping your Legacy 6 file intact. Once your file is
transferred to Legacy 8 it will be unusable on Legacy 6. As stated, you
can run both programs on the same computer until you are comfortable
with the new Legacy.

Brian, then if I kept both, would they access the data from the same
data file, or does Legacy 8 put its data in a different location, and
does it save it "on the fly" like Legacy 6? My Legacy 6 data is all in
a folder named Legacy that resides directly on the C hard drive. I
don't have a real reason for wanting NOT to use Legacy 6, except that
I fear it would not work well with Windows 10. Am I right on that?
