I've tried the Linux versions of both and never could get either to
run. <sigh><br>
<br>
In Winblows, I thought maybe I'd boot up in safe mode first, and try
to make incremental updates if we can do that anymore. (from XP
days)<br>
<br>
I had an XP "master" floppy but it stopped working many years ago.<br>
<br>
I'll leave a DVD; does it matter which kind? +R -R, write-once,
rewritable?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Also, additional blanks for any of those games. Finding install

Age of Empires? That runs pretty well under

What tricks do I have to play to move that Win7 to a

<br>
I can store a disk image to the backup server then load
that image to a (larger) bare hard drive on the desktop
with no sweat. I don't think Win7 is cpu-locked but I
do think it is UUID-locked, but not sure.<br>
<br>
Any ideas, guys?<br>

There are some old Win games (Age of Kings - Conquerors)
I'd like to play again. And Descent 3D as well. :)<br>
