Will Microsoft Works work in Windows 10 ? Yes!

<Original title: Microsoft Works>

Community Moderator Update 2017:  Works 9 installs and works fine on Windows 10. 

Will Microsoft Works work in Windows 10?

Answer
Answer

Some say it can and others say it cannot.

For the record I'm in the camp that it works for me.

This past weekend we purchased a new desktop tower with Windows 10 for a family member to replace the older XP tower.  Using the MSWorks 9.0 disks I was able to install to out-of-box Windows 10 on the tower with no errors and no compatibility mode.

So now I have MSWorks 4.5 working under Windows 10 on a laptop and MSWorks 9.0 on a Windows 10 tower.  Both were loaded using the original MS Works CDs and the original installation codes.

Another for the record, I've never found a viable replacement (Open Office or otherwise) for using my existing MS Works files.

     I installed my quite old Works from the CD I've had for years!  Works wonderfully.  You can also go to the Windows Store and download it for FREE.

     So, I don't know what all you nay-sayers are talking about!  I'm not all that smart and have even worse luck!
