I would reccomend Windows 10, 32bit. Win 10 is stable, and the 32bit version wor
ks well with the old dos programs. They do have a fix for the 64bit version of w
indows to run the old doors, bit I heard plus and minus about it. I have one com
puter running the 64bit version using the fix, but I still opt to run my BBS on
the 32bit version. Whatever you use, just have fun with it, and make it your own
.
