Im trying to run a program 'Go Tools' on windows 10.
The programmer left a note to help boot this program saying:
To run GoTools under Windows XP one has to make sure that it runs
in Windows 98 compatibility mode as follows:
- click gotools.exe with the right mouse button,
- in the opening window click 'Properties',
- click the 'Compatibility' tab, and under this tab
- click the box for 'Run this program in compatibility mode for:'
- select underneath 'Windows 98 / Windows Me', then
- click the 'Screen' tab, and under this tab
- under usage click 'Full-screen'.
- click 'OK' at the bottom (of this gotools.exe Properties window).
Also, one has to run the command.com interpreter in Full Screen mode
with 80x25 characters (which is the traditional DOS layout). To do this:
- click the 'Start' menu typically in lower left corner,
- click 'Run'
- type command.com and click 'OK'.
- click the top bar of the opening frame with the right mouse button
and select 'Properties'
- select the 'Options' tab and click 'Full Screen'
(underneath Display Options),
- select the 'Layout' tab and specify Width: 80 and Height: 25
- click 'OK' at the bottom,
- in the opening 'Apply Properties' window click 'Save properties
for future windows with same title' and click 'OK'

To run GoTools either in the opening full screen change the directory
to the one that contains gotools.exe or enter 'exit' and start GoTools
by double click gotools.exe .
If this all fails then an alternative method would be to download and
install MSDOS from http://dosbox.sourceforge.net or for Windows 7 64bit
using dosbox emulator which is available on
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dosbox/ .
So OK. I'm trying to run it in Windows 10 and not Windows XP or Windows 7.
And I'm not at all a tech guy and lost.
Is anyone knowledgable and kind enough to help me on this problem?
I bought this magnetic strip reader writer (MSRE106) and I use USB adapter to connect it to my laptop because I have no serial port in my computer. But now I have a problem since the software of the device recognizes only serial ports on windows. After looking up I found someone that wrote a python script for Linux (found here The Script).
Still even in this python script in the settings file it has this variable
How can I change this to be one of my USB ports instead of a serial one because I have none

This script is made to use serial port as well, which means you can't just modify COM='USB1' or whatever to use your USB adapter. If you have a look at line 264 a serial port is open using function SerialPort().
To fix this issue you must install your USB adapter's driver that will emulate a serial port and create a fake COM1 you can use with this script or the original software of the MSRE106.
