Or maybe software works differently than automobiles?

Not these days.

I use the latest Visual Studio Community and it includes the latest Visual Basic. All for free!

If you want to use the same software you used 15-20 years ago then your best bet is to use a computer that old with Windows XP or Windows 7. If you want to use a more modern computer with Windows 10 or Windows 11 then you need to use more modern versions of a paid version of Office or a free office program that works for you.

I have have various computers from 2 to 20 years old. On the oldest computer I use Office 2003. On the newest computers I use either Office 2019 or Office 2021. On other computers I use Office 2007, Office 2010, or FreeOffice 2021.

BTW, I have purchased a lot of programming software including QuickBasic 4.5, Visual C++ 6.0, Visual Basic 6.0.

QuickBasic 4.5 doesn't work in Windows 10 or 11 so I use QB64 instead.

Visual C++ 6.0, Visual Basic 6.0 seem to work in Windows 10 and 11. However, for more modern Visual C++ and Visual Basic programming I use Visual Studio Community 2022.

I sometime do Python programing using the Thonny IDE.

I have used most of them in above, but stopped at VB5. I do a little coding now and then and just gave up when my brain fried.
