Perhaps I expressed myself badly. I had to decide between two options, yes, but you put them both in your item 1. Since nobody was confident enough in 1(a) to advocate it, I followed David's advice and did 1(b). I have been keeping out of this because anybody experienced enough to put progra

Maybe I missed something, but you decided on 2 options: 1. Install both versions if possible side-by-side, or use VirtualBox for 4.13 2. Upgrade so you only need one version. That second option was as simple as: -Make a copy of your file (should always exist anyway) -Install 3.11 & Open your

Thanks for the feedback, David. While I was waiting for replies, I looked into VirtualBox. It's a lot more polished and easier to use than the last time I used it, several years ago. I was worried about how to run Windows in a guest machine, since I have just the one product key in my host machine

As an experienced user of VirtualBox, I would say that your use case is exactly what VirtualBox is best for, ie temporary computer needs. The main requirement is having enough RAM and cpu's to share with your other programs. On Mon, Mar 20, 2023, 3:21 PM Stan Brown (using GC 2.6.19) < stan+gnuc.
