       Dale, good morning.

DS> I have a lot of legacy software and hardware that I've managed to get

       Ditto here. I run all kinds of old software.

DS> Software -- a large number of 16 bit DOS applications.

       The only problem here will be if you try running 16-bit software on a 64-bit
CPU, it will not. I will run on a 32-bit CPU, strange to say the least. Your
option is as you did before, a VM.

DS>> I'd like to hear some pros & cons for making the change or just
DS>> leaving things as they are.

       No con here, except the a/m bitness.

HG>> but once I'll get the Classic Shell installed, I think I'll get
HG>> accustomed to it.

       I can not see why Holger wants to run Classic Shell, a personal desire, I
presume. Let us not forget that W-10 is still a Windows and its pedigree goes
back 30 years, they have not made a new OS just dressed it up a trifle. All
CLIs are still usable. Safe mode is still with us and I use it at times.

       All best wishes.
