Protect Yourself From Tech Support Scams
Tech support scams are an industry-wide issue where scammers trick you into paying for unnecessary
technical support services. You can help protect yourself from scammers by verifying that the contact is a
Microsoft Agent or
Microsoft Employee and that the phone number is an
official
Microsoft global customer service number.
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.
