There are some things that I actually like about Win 10, hell even my KDE Neon (main office computer) I have setup to look like Win 10. If this was Win 7 or 8.1 where they still used the old update schema, I would be more confident, but not with their new bleeding edge schema. It may still work, my starting with DRAW was with X5, so I can't test it, but it may or may not work like it did from 2 yrs ago. That's quite a few updates since then that may have made it harder or not as fool proof. Keep in mind, the workaround that was mentioned towards the end of the thread is 2 yrs old.
Normally one would have 2 options, but I know you aren't a fan of 1, so that really leaves you with only 1 option if wanting to keep X3 alive and going and without worrying about if the next computer/update (if the new computer is online) doesn't kill program functionality. But if you get a new computer with Win 10, you are going to have whatever the latest version is at the time and that version (each major update (of which there are typically 2 a year) is only supported for 18 months after released, so we are talking "bleeding edge") may be the one that makes it even harder or impossible to run X3. Now, you did mention that your other computers don't have internet and that helps with those computers.
I know when my mom did that, Ps CS6 had some quirks with it, especially with regard to permissions.ĪPIs, DLLs (not quick enough though when it comes to Windows) change or you may need a specific VS runtime that isn't available for later versions etc (why I love portable programs, have one that was made in 1997 and still runs on Win10 and not in compatibility mode). Now, if I had say Win 7 on the computer and then did an upgrade path, it may have worked, I don't know. When I did a fresh install of X5 on Win 8.1, it as a booger to get it loaded. I remember when I was playing around with Corel with X5 and X6 (do have a copy of X8, but never installed it).
