With time running out for Windows 10 support, there may be a way out, of sorts, for those who will be unable to upgrade: Linux with WINE 10.

WINE is a translation layer that enables various OSes to run Windows binaries natively, including binaries that the native OS itself no longer can. Definitely worth looking into for those who have older applications that will simply not run on the next version of Windows!

On a side note, WINE is something I first used some twenty or more years ago, and helped me move from Windows to Linux, back in the days when Linux simply didn't have the vast selection of applications it does today, and the main application I used under WINE was Lotus SmartSuite! I wrote my CV and kept track of my job hunting upon Demob on SmartSuite running under WINE on Linux OpenSUSE!
