Add to the price the cost to replace any peripherals that will no longer work.
“Add to the price the cost to replace any peripherals that will no longer work.”
Assuming peripherals includes software, this is what I do not like about new operating systems.
Typically there is a work around, but it is a royal pain. Such as I have a 1994 16 bit CAD program I am running on a 64 bit Windows 7. I can retire the 16 bit program once I get all the drawings upgraded to 2015 software.
The work around is to install an older version of Windows, such as XP, Win95 etc on the 64 bit using a virtual machine.
I bought a new computer with Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit. It wouldn’t work with my CanoScan LiDE 35 flatbed scanner. I managed by telling it I had a CanoScan LiDE 60 hooked up.
