Has anyone got any advance knowledge is windows 10, 32 bit, will run Synchronet, and the old dos doors. They are offering windows 10 for free, and I'm curious. Thanks

I haven't tried Windows 10 yet, but I don't see why it wouldn't run Synchronet. Also, I don't see a reason Microsoft would remove the 16-bit DOS virtual machine from a 32-bit Windows - hopefully it's still there.
If it helps you any, I have on 32 bit windows 7 system that has reservations for windows 10. I assume that it will be 32 bit in that case.
Just curious

I found this guy on youtube that seems to know advance knowledge of Windows 10.

I got it also, but I don't want to switch over if I lose the dos functionality. Thanks

I got a good deal on a Win7 laptop, but it had to be 32-bit. The
doorgames are the main draw on BBS's nowadays, and if you get rid of the main draw, why even run a BBS??

There are non-16-bit doorgames, now more than ever. That said, I still run
a Win7-32 VM strictly for 16-bit DOS game support (and testing).

I have been running a preview version for months now. Granted its a 64 bit version, but it still has the CMD window.

There's a command prompt, but it can't run 16-bit "old" DOS apps. 32
bit OSes can run DOS apps in a virtual DOS environment called a VDM.

I have my Mystic bbs running on Windows 10. Doors all work, well those that I have tried. There were a few things I had to do to make win10 run the 16bit doors, but once I found the answers, run like a charm.

I'm guessing you're probably using the 32-bit edition of Windows 10. 64-bit editions of Windows don't have the DOS VDM and thus can't run DOS programs easily.

What problems? I am also now running Synchronet on windows 10 32 bit.
So far so good. No major problems
I imagine you could probably use the 32-bit edition of Windows 10 to run DOS apps. Ruben Figueroa posted a message here saying he's running his BBS in Windows 10.
It appears that Windows 10 is no different from the other versions of Windows NT in this regard. Just use a 32-bit edition and you should be fine.

If you have a win32 windows 7, which you have to have if it's running 16 bit doors, then you will receive a 32 bit Windows 10 upgrade.

Actually I didn't know that NTVDM was not installed by the upgrade to Windows 10.

Actually I didn't know that NTVDM was not installed by the upgrade to Windows 10. When I did get it installed, I still could not run the 16bit doors.
Then I found out to disabl NTVDM, then open a command prompt window, go to properties and check Legacy. Then go back to windows features and enable NTVDM. Then all the doors worked except one that was misconfigured.
