I have been using the same set up for over three years with no issues - now I have issues. Since Windows 10 is the only variable between 'working' and 'not working' I think this may be the culprit - but don't know how to fix it.

Permissions can be a minefield in my experience. I absolutely could not run WordStar (a DOS program) on my Windows 7 desktop though I was easily able to do so on my laptop, running the exact same OS (Windows 7 Professional 32-bit). A tech-savvy gent worked with me literally for weeks but couldn't crack it (by email; we're separated by 7,000 miles). He figured it was permissions. (I could open a WordStar file, and edit it, but I couldn't save the edited version.) I finally lashed the two computers together, so when I wanted to work in WordStar I tapped the Num Lock key two times, and hey presto! My laptop innards appeared on my desktop monitor and responded to my desktop keyboard.
Then some genius developed vDos as a tool for gamers. It did the trick! I can even paste from Windows Clipboard to WordStar, though I can't copy back again. (There is a workaround, but it is horrendous.)
I only recently got his done, so I'm not going to upgrade to Win 10 any time soon.
