The Scrivener project I've saved on Dropbox is incompatible with my Windows 10 computer.

I have saved a scrivener project in Dropbox on my windows 11 laptop but when I try to open it in Scrivener on my Windows 10 PC I get a message saying it is incompatible. I cannot upgrade my pc to windows 11. How can I fix this?

    That isnt a Dropbox error. Its a one from Scrivener. You almost certainly have different version of the software on your two machines. You need to upgrade that for it to work - Dropbox simply gets the files onto your machine. It is then up to the software on the machine to open it.
