Hello,

Hoping someone can tell me what to do. The problem is I still have windows 7, which is no longer supported for many things, and have heard I cannot use my Dreamweaver websites if I buy windows 10.

What can I do? My two websites are a photo gallery and one 1,000 pages of magazine text.

Thank you for what ever knowledge you might share.

    "...have heard I cannot use my Dreamweaver websites if I buy windows 10"

    You heard wrong.  Valid HTML & CSS code works in all modern browsers and versions of DW.

     

    Which version of DW do you have?

     

     

    NOTE 1:  CS1, CS2 and CS3 are officially dead.  The activation servers are gone.  There is no possible way to activate the software.

     

    NOTE 2:  CS4, CS5 and CS6 are on life support.  Adobe removed the download links and Customer Care agents cannot help you. If you wish to keep using legacy software, you need your original installation disks/installers and a valid serial number.

    That is a false statement.

     

    There is no problem when you upgrade to Windows 10
