Subject: Re: Windows10 calculator



HH,

        After continued playing I'd have to say that the easiest way to get 
something back that's similar to the classic calculator, but that runs under 
Windows 10, it's definitely downloading and installing Microsoft Calculator 
Plus <https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=21622> . 
When initially installed the default view does not look like the good, old 
fashioned calculator, but it's easy to make it look exactly like that if you 
wish.  It has a View menu and the first thing that I did was switch to standard 
view (I think it started out as scientific).  Then, afterward, in that same 
View menu, there is an toggle option at the bottom, "Classic View," which makes 
it look exactly like the old calculator.  Even if you change nothing about the 
appearance, the old Ctrl+C when you've completed a calculation copies the 
result to the clipboard and you can paste it elsewhere.

         I tried testing the old Win7 calc.exe program that I copied over to my 
Win10 machine, and it will not run even when Windows 7 compatibility mode is 
used.  Microsoft Calculator Plus runs perfectly, and gets back the function 
that you seem most interested in having.

Brian
