I used Poser Pro 14 back in the day. After a very very long break I find myself with the time to start creating again. I have a load of files of software I bought back then but PP14 is on my old laptop and I've lost the serial number and cannot access my old emails for receipts.

My new(er) laptop is an Intel i7 -4712MQ CPU 2.30GHz with Intel HD Graphics 4600 and 16gb RAM, I'm also running an SSD Drive rather than hard disc.

So I had decided to bite the bullet and purchase Poser 12 .. then I realised that DSON is now a no-go and frankly I have too much content that I wouldn't be able to use for it to be worth my while. THEN I decided to do the unthinkable and try DAZ3D which I had tried several times before in the past but could not get the hang of. So I downloaded the latest version, cranked it up and .. it crashed. And crashed. And crashed.

{sigh}

I have searched for days for a solution for both problems and have found zilch. So here's my question .. do I purchase Poser 11 in the hope that it will work and I can start making art again? No point in getting Poser 12 because yeah, DSON. I never could figure out Daz but in desperation I tried - now it's sitting on my desktop like the World's most useless brick.

(edit) I'm using Windows 11 upgraded from Windows 10 Pro.
