Confusion Reigns Supreme

[Old]

I started with DOS and GEOS. I likes GEOS a lot, it was a simple GUI, came with it's own word processor. I ingored Windows for several years. GEOS faded away and I had to get another word processor and  I went to Windows.

I still have a DOS book on the shelf,but have totally forgotten the commands. Once Windows incorporated full setup for periphials I did not have much need for it. Haven't used a DOS command in years.  

OLD and lazy now, I do not miss using DOS, but I still own a stick shift.

Virtual Machine?? That is a foreign language to me   However, I do know this much - Win 7; 64 bit; Intel; core i5.  Question.- Does this run side by side with Win 7 or does it change the interface  (I think that's the right word LOL) so it looks like Android.  I really don't want to lose Win 7 but from what I've been reading it makes me think it's going to change everything - though I'm probably wrong.  

According to your specs, you should be able to run it and JW Library just fine. Remix OS Player is an emulator/preset virtual machine that you can run as a window within Windows 7. No hassle, it won't change or overwrite the Graphical User Interface of Windows 7. It's at the bottom of this page: http://www.jide.com/remixos-player

"Remix OS for PC" is the one that would install as a full Operating System, but you don't need to bother with that thanks to your hardware.

Who said it wouldn't work with XP? I know Sharli said it didn't work on hers and XP is not in the  list of system "requirements", but it is always good to try it first before deciding that it won't work. There are many factors that will either allow or disallow a program to work on a particular version of the Windows OS. Sometimes you just need to try.

 

I'm not sure when I said it didn't work on my XP, because it does! It's my Windows 10 laptop I'm having issues with. It has worked on my XP since day one.

That's right, I forgot, sorry.

A lot of confusion between the JW Library app and the Watchtower Library on DVD.

Thank you for your help brother Alex.  I will go and download it now and give it a go.
