I want to update JDK for NetBeans 7.1 and tried JDK 8u65 for windows i586 but a message box appears warning me about the old OS not being supported anymore.
The PC is not mine, is from the job and they don't want to update the OS.

Java 7 is the latest version that can run on XP, but it is not supported by Sun
Note: As of April 8, 2014 Microsoft stopped supporting Windows XP and therefore it is no longer an officially supported platform. Users may still continue to use Java 7 updates on Windows XP at their own risk

We are in need to try out an issue that our application becomes slow when MSAA installed.
The host OS has'nt been specified.
When I try to install MSAA 2.0, it says that the version is not supported in my system.
Is it possible to try out the same in my local system which has Windows 10 pro?
MSAA can run in Windows 10 but not the version you already tested (2.0). You need the version 3.0 that is the one available for Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8.8.1 and 10:
I am trying to run VMWare and the website states to disable Hyper-V (which I did), but then at the bottom it said versions 1909 of Windows 10 and earlier cannot run VMWare at all, and I am at version 1909. How do I update my Windows 10 version to be the latest? (and will it corrupt/delete my files?)
Thanks!
So I'm porting an old 32bit NIC driver which was written for NDIS 5.0. I'm targeting (if possible) all 64bit Windows versions starting from XP. What NDIS version to use? From what I've read it should be less then 6 because then Windows XP x64 won't be supported - is this true (I'm wondering because the x64 version of XP is not so conventional)?
Also what WDK version to use - I'm thinking of 7.1 but I don't know maybe even the newer 8.0, 8.1 and 10 somehow support Windows XP x64 NDIS?
I'm asking because from what I see the NDIS versions are all very different and I don't want to start re-writing my driver from scratch again.
And another question I'm wondering - what have NDIS to do with WDK? Does WDK have versions too (sorry if the question is stupid but I've never developed drivers before)? I see that there are NDIS-WDM drivers.
This post provides good information about OS and NDIS version compatibility:
The compatibility issue between NDIS version and Windows version
The WDK usually supports only current OS and 1-3 down-level OS. Windows 10 WDK would let you build for Win7, Win8, WIn8.1, Win10. To get WinXP support, you need to go down to WDK 7.1.0. This wiki provides the details of the down-level OS supported: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Driver_Kit. There isn't a way to use one version of WDK to get the driver built all the way from winXP to win10.
WDK is tied to OS versions and not NDIS. You need to pick the WDK corresponding to the OS you are targeting. There is a version of WDK released for each major release of Windows and during every release, the support for a down-level OS version might be dropped or retained.
I recently upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.
And I installed Maven on my machine. When I checked the version of Maven by running mvn --version it showed Windows 8.1.
I installed maven on windows 10 only.
What is happening here? Why is Maven unable to get current OS version?
Windows OS reports version codes that have to be translated to the name of a particular Windows release given by Microsoft's marketing team. For example, it will return 6.0 for Windows Vista and 6.3 for Windows 8.1
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724832(v=vs.85).aspx
The API does indeed return 10.0 for Windows 10, but Maven's code to translate the version number to the marketing name likely did not expect such consistency. Maven will likely be updated at some point in the future to correctly display Windows 10.
