Yep, all fine software for new projects, but tweaking bits of large decade old projects for annual updates ain't likely to fly sadly.

There have been rumblings that Windows for ARM could solve the problem, but Microsoft has not yet licensed it so it is a non-starter.

Basically, the answer is "no". At least not yet. If Microsoft is smart, Windows for ARM will be license-able (is that a word?) by the end of 2021.

And as the Creative Suites in question have the same issues in Windows 10 as they do in Catalina, looks like it is indeed a non-starter. M$ won't be porting Vista or ME over to ARM will they!


Oh well, thanks for the clarifications. Merry Christmas everybody!
