I purchased a small notebook/tablet about 6 months ago and just had it upgraded from Win 8.1 to Win 10. I got DosBox running first on this Win 7 machine, and wanted to see if it would work on the new Win 10 notebook/tablet; I'm happy to report that it did and seems to have no problems whatever. This may not be of much interest to many forum members, because I use it for a text reference program that simply reads files and allows quick searches and so forth. But for me it's extremely useful functionality for which I find no similar, simplified abilities in later GUI versions, and I was very happy when I first found this application which enabled me to use it again since I had finally dumped my old XP machine and really missed it. Now having it also work in Win 10 is especially nice. I was happy enough that I donated $20 when I first got things running on the Win 7 box (maybe not a large sum but I'm retired and not on a large budget).

While it is made clear here that DosBox is really intended for games, which with their other complications such as sound and etc. may of course be a different story - I'm happy that the app provides a way for me to use this little application, and thought some might find it interesting that it seems to also work fine in Win 10.
