After reformatting your hard drive, there was no need to re-install Win7 and then Win8/8.1. You could have directly installed Win10 onto your fresh hard drives and used your Win7 key to activate it. Your Legacy program and all others could have been installed into the Win10 setup with no problems at all (other than you needing to know your Legacy serial number in order to activate the Deluxe features).
In other words, you didn’t need to lose that much time and sleep.

Here is what happened when I tried to install Linux 'Mint' I wanted to install Linux Mint in order to create a dual boot system so that I could try other programs that might work better than those associated with Win 10. After what I thought was a successful installation, the whole system crashed, no Linux and no Win 10 - nothing worked at all. I wound up having to reformat my primary hard drive, and beginning with Win 7 Pro [I still had my original Win 7 Pro Disk with Key] went through re-installing from there to Win 8 & 8.1, then on to Win 10 Pro. I had full back-ups of all data and a list of programs to reinstall so did not lose anything but a lot of time and sleep! I have plenty of Memory: 16gb and two Hard Drives, so they were not the problem. It was an exercise in frustration, to say the least. I have been working with and using PC's for well over 20 years, so am no newbie when it comes to tech stuff. I never got to try an emulator to test drive Legacy. Martha
