Reading the data on a non-supported Windows OS.

Question

I have Family Tree Creator Deluxe software, it is not compatible with Windows 7. How can I read the data I have already entered?

Answer 1

This version of the software doesn't have support for Windows 7 or newer which means you will have to install Windows XP virtualized with the help of VirtualBox. VirtualBox allows you to have full operating systems working in a Window while keeping the base OS running as normally. The only requirements is that you will also need a PC with Virtualization enabled and an installation disc for the operating system you are trying to run (in this case, Windows XP).
