As the title asks, can it be done? I want to be able to use this old version at home for fun projects (all 2d wiring, maybe some construction plans (shed), etc...).
I think the old ACAD V10 is a 32-bit program and my new machine is a 64-bit (or vice versa). I'm not real savvy with all the computer stuff, but I have installed the old ACAD V10 on my work desktops (as I got a new machines every ~3 years), so I figured I may be able to install it.
Any simple advice?
Install with Floppy B or A disc ? 😀
If I remember it right, this needs to install with DOS and not Windows.
Well if you installed it successfully and it works, come back and tell everyone how you did it .
There are free or inexpensive programs that are much more advanced and can get you up and running without any of the issues you will encounter trying to get that relic running on Win10.
If your dead set ok on getting it going, I would suggest hunting for an old machine from that era or slightly later that has the appropriate OS or installing some sort of emulator on your current machine that would mimic the old Windows 98(?) that you need.
