Win10?  Forget it.  Buy an old, used laptop -- or build a desktop with old, used parts that are still available -- and install Win98SE, WinXP or WinVista 32.  Dedicate the platform to EccoPro and keep it off the web.  

It should work without too many problems; maybe.  If I get bored I might experiment.

Orphaned legacy applications should probably run on legacy platforms unless someone wants to recode them in Linux .... .

Just my ignorant opinion.

And since this is an EccoPro forum, the information should be related to EccoPro. The new OS does not like programs with a development stop in 1997 and Installers not certified by Microsoft, the Master of the Universe, as experienced by those who upgraded to Win10 and now get "Unhandled Registry Errors", a permission error when opening EccoPro. For years  the regular Windows uninstaller doesn’t do a thorough enough job to eliminate old registry entries, therefore the rise in popularity of countless third part registry cleaners. Ask those or google/bing the many messages of users who try to upgrade their Flash version in Internet Explorer. I fully understand those who switch to Linux/Wine.

Regarding downloaded software, if other Cloud or Online services like EA, Valve, Sony and other publishers protecting their intellectual properties do something similar is not of interest.
