You could try using a virtual machine that runs Windows XP, on your Windows 10. As for how to do it, it is advisable to ask in the Hardware and Operating Systems forum:

As they have more knowledge and experience in this things than I do.

?

so what you are saying is to download xp on my windows 10 pc

On Windows 7, you had a Windows XP mode that could allow you to use it as though you had Windows XP. But on Windows 10 they did not include this feature.

All you really need is a virtual machine program like VirtualBox[www.virtualbox.org] and a spare Windows XP license. Install that copy of Windows in the VM and you can run software on that older version of Windows in a window on your Windows 10 desktop.

Yes, but using a virtual machine allows you to have Windows XP on your Windows 10. It would be in a window.

No, it will not. The Windows XP will run in a window, similar to playing a game in windowed mode. You need to have a spare Windows XP license to use it with a virtual machine though. If you really want to play that game and Shockwave only works well on older OS, you might want to ask in the Hardware forum for advice, as the regular users there know more than I do.

well easiest way espacially with compability would be to buy an old windows xp pc used. Otherwise you need to buy a windows xp license (which you only will get used) and run a VM.

You could try running your game in a virtual machine but you do need a beefy PC (5th gen i5 or higher) with a lot of RAM (8gb minimum).

You could run in to issues when doing this tho.

Virtual box: https://www.virtualbox.org/



Alternatively you could run Windows XP and Windows 10 in a dual boot.



What I recommend you do: Find a old $10 PC at a good will store and install Windows Xp on it.

Install the LAN drivers. Open your PC case and look for the motherboard make and model. Then report back.
