Opening Musescore 3 files in older versions
Hi! I downloaded the latest version of musescore(musescore 3) about 3 weeks ago and I have been working on a few projects hence. However I no longer have access to this computer and I am forced to use an older computer, which uses Windows xp and I learnt that Musescore 3 is not compatible with this version of Windows, as Windows XP can only support upto Musescore version 2.3.2. So I tried opening the projects I created using Musescore 3 on this older version of musescore and I get a message saying it cannot open on here since it was created using a newer version of Musescore. I honestly didn't think that this would be a major issue and now I am stuck and unable to continue with my projects. Someone please advise on this matter.

or rather #281539: MuseScore 3 on Windows 32-bit is not available, which also links to an unsupported 32bit XP version of MuseScore 3.0
A possibly workaround (aside from the unsupported build) could be to upload your score to musescore.com then download it in MusicXML format. You'll lose some information, but most of the score should be preserved when opening that back in MS2
