Compatibility; t of work from Reason 3 which is still usable. Salvage ?

[Kenshoman]

I left music for a few years, I still have Reason 3..01.
My operating system still supports it. but not for long.
Theres about 20 years of work which is about to be lost.
90% are just edits of edits . But 10% or so are well worth saving.
What action should I take ?
Id be perfectly content to continue with Reason 3. I dont need much.
What can I do to save the files on a new computer with a new operating system ?
If I must upgrade to a newer version can these files still be saved to continue working on them , or finishing them ?
Or is there any action which I can take ?
Or am I screwed ?

Any help is appreciated. An odd one I know , but .....thats the situation.

I think Reason 3 files will open just fine in any more modern version of Reason. Of course you should backup all your files (also in general) to some USB drive or private internet file hosting.

Self-contain the samples in all the songs before moving/archiving them. Back up any (non-FSB) refills along with the songs.

Plus, Reason 3 was the best!

Unless the programming language changes in the future you can count on reason 1 to work with 11.
