I have found several programs that worked well on XP, but had graphics problems on Win7 work very well once I upgraded to Win 10

Since it's a free upgrade from 7 or 8.x, there is no money to waste.

That's what I'm saying. If the critical systems work perfectly on Windows XP, why change it? It may even cost more to have things upgraded.

Yeah, we used IE6 for our electronic health record at my last job for a long time. The company was always behind on getting things upgrade to be compatible with the latest and "greatest" IE. Luckily, they finally started having better luck with compatibility with Chrome.
