I have Photoshop 7 running under Windows XP SP3 and I want to install it in my new PC (and will remove it from the old) which is running Windows 10 64 bit.

Photshop 7 works fine for me but I assume that it will not run on Windows 10 64 bit of my new PC.  I do not use PS often enough to justify signing up to a rental plan, I would like to buy it outright but only need software that does what PS 7 does.  What should I do?

Install it in windows 10.

R-click the PS icon and select "compatibility"

Click the compatibility mode box and select whatever OS environment you want to run Photoshop in.

You can go as far back as Vista

Hi jbm007,

As I said in my post, Photoshop 7 needs to run under Windows XP SP3.  Vista is a later version of Windows, so I guess I can't do what you suggest as you say that the Windows 10 compatibility option only goes back to Vista.

I may be able to run Photoshop 7 in a Windows 10 Virtual Machine, however although this is supposed to be built into Windows 10, it does not appear to be in my Home version.

Maybe my mind is gone, but I thought Photoshop 7 would still run under Vista.

Its been a long time since I used PS 7

You can run VM in windows 10 home addition

but I think it will cost you.
