- Can runs on moust all computers with or with out windows or Linux being installed (does not care. Does not read or write other file systems)
Here at The LaunchPad we find and refurbish/rewrite old 16 bit software so that it will run on most modern computers. All software and other info gets placed on a USB flash drive. Basically, you plug it in to your computer, and it works; unplug the USB drive and you are back to your windows or what ever OS that you may have.
Note: OurLaunchPad.com is often referred to as "The LaunchPad". However, OurLaunchPad.com is this website, while "The LaunchPad" is a software package on a USB flash drive, where files are worked on and assembled.
The Launch-Pad is a 16 bit environment that is a totally self contained stand alone file system needing no help from any outside file system. Just plug in the USB drive. Works on most desk tops, laptops, and some notepad computers.
Most of the LaunchPad software is free to use for life. We are the other environment. Not windows, not Mac, not Linux. We use the older 16 bit DOS like files because generally speaking files are smaller, easier, faster and less complicated than the 32/64 bit files. Windows no longer supports 16 bit mode. So the Launchpad is set to start-up in 16 bit mode on a USB drive. All desktop computers can run 8/16/32/64 bit code, but not in latter versions of windows.
