NO.... the onus is on the person REFUTING the article in question.... that is where proof needs to come in...otherwise, why argue?
If I agree with something already posted, why would I need to provide evidence?!?!?!?
And just because there isn't a Windows XP Compatibility mode doesn't mean that you can't run XP software....
Now, since I'm going to refute what YOU said, I need to provide some proof...Here's a quote from the link YOU provided...
___________
Any application or hardware that requires an old driver will be a problem. If you depend on an application that interfaces with a Windows XP-era hardware device and the manufacturer has never provided a driver that works on Windows 7, you’re likely in trouble. On the other hand, if there is a driver that does work on Windows 7, your hardware should continue working properly on Windows 10.
____________
So yes, if it didn't work on Windows 7, it PROBABLY won't work on Windows 10... but we're talking about the difference between Windows 7 and 10 (and 8)... so if it works on 1, it works on the other!!
Most XP software works on Windows 7 already... so it will continue to work on Windows 10 as well.... if you REALLY need a specific program/device to work on Windows 10 - and for some reason it doesn't... you can probably get a 3rd party driver to make it work anyways...
