  As others mentioned, there are many alternatives (to Nero) and many
just use what comes with Windows. Not that I have burned that many
CDs/DVDs, but ever since Vista, I just used the built-in software
(before that, I had a Plextor CD writer which came with nero5 BURNING
ROM software).

  What special needs do you have that are not met by built-in Windows
tools?

  As to "every ...single ...program ...reinstall so far has been way too
problematic": Can you give examples of some of these other programs and
what kind of problems you had?

  As mentioned, many of us are happily running very old software on our
new (10/11) systems. For example this very post is brought to you
courtesy 22 year old software running on Windows 11. So Windows 10 and
11 can still run quite old software, but that of course does not mean it
can run all old software, nor that doing that is hassle-free.

  Just anecdotal, but our Windows 8.1. to Windows 10 'upgrade' went
without a glitch.

  Anyway, good luck with your efforts.
