I have been testing Linux, at least for retro games, and although I was surprisingly able to get some very old and problematic titles to work fine, the number is quite low.

Modern apps work better there, and I personally won't shift there for running old apps. It is just calling for more trouble.

You should not buy Games on GOG, they work not.

They work most of the time on the platform they were released to (that is, Windows version current as of GOG release). It's hard to keep everything still working when suddenly a new Windows version appears that breaks random things again..

The Problem with win10 can be the USB.

Ballmer is my Microsoft CEO

What does the USB have to do with backward compatibility?

Best I can think of is a current-faulty USB storage that sometimes gets disconnected while gaming and crashes it

Yes it is win10 and the USB, this also was my Problem.

Now i have all what i want.

Never have Problems with Ballmer.

Have many Problems with win10 and USB.

You should not Buy Intenso Sticks or Noname Produkts.

win10 can also make Sticks Defekt.

That you can not delete something from the stick, or copying to the stick. And that you cant formate the stick.

With a Noname HDD Stick from China. 2TB, cant copy example normal MP4 Videos on the stick.

Copy mp4 Videos yes, with Problems that they are not copying after copying they are not on the stick.

When Videos are copying and on the stick,
And when will watching them they can not play.

With a Intenso during copying Musik comes a Problem, with message. And win10 throw the stick out.

All this Problems stand in the Microsoft Forums,

People asking for Help, bud on MS Forums you will get allways wrong Infos.

My sollution is:

Buy a Sandisk Extern SSD, or Sticks from:

Transcent, Kingston, Phillips, Sandisk

Juste here to say i agree with the original message.

I thought Gog will keep games as they were released but i saw different version deleted, you can't find basic iso without anything. it's a real problem. Wost when they replace by a "remaster"... A good example with baldur's gate , improvement are not interesting. I'm happy to have keep my original cds, with a wrapper i can even add shaders effect to reproduce a crt screen.
