I had a third party VM on my Win 7 box for a while-I found it to be a PIA. I am torn between upgrading to Win 10 and just sticking with Win 7. At 73, I don't really want to have to revisit those struggles.Īnd I have templates that I use with CorelDrawX4 (like WP, a Corel product). Someone in that other thread discounted that memory but since I am not a programmer or even a WP guru, those macros were a difficult project for me. In another thread I mentioned that my recollection is that when I upgraded to a newer version.as I've done a number of times.my macros didn't work and had to be re-written. I've been using WordPerfect since MS-DOS 5, as well. ![]() With all the upgrades over the years I now have WP X8 on my main machine but I've not had many issues as I don't have a need for Macros which seems to be the main stumbling block with upgrading versions as they come out.

Yes, i know."get a newer version." But this is not an option for financial reasons, alone (and i hate having to purchase new versions of perfectly functioning software every time Windows puts out a new iteration. One of the most important (to me) is WordPerfect X4. I resisted upgrading to Win 10 specifically because I had numerous 'legacy' programs that scuttlebutt (Corel forums) said wouldn't work with 10. I am upgrading my computer hardware and am thinking about upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10. i got a notification to that effect and a suggestion to start an new thread.
