What will break in PB - Switch to Win 10 from Win 7

Post by yrreti »

I'm sure this is probably on the minds of several here, as more and more switch to Win 10.
I'm using Win 7, and all of my programs work fine on Win 7. Will they still work on Win 10?
There are a lot of things that big M is doing with Win 10 that I don't like, but that's a personal gripe.
But I will say - 'Especially' the forced updates, having had severe issues in the past with a bad patch Tuesday!
My big concern is what changes in my code will end up being needed in order to work and not have issues either
with my present code and my future code? The scary idea that some programs that I need and use every day,
might seize to work after the up grade is indeed scary!!
For those who have upgraded, have you noticed any issues yet?
Or have any experienced coders noted any issues yet that need to be watched for or code that needs to be changed?
Going from XP to Win 7 had some issues. It would be a good help for many to note these some where for
future reference, to avoid pulling hair out of ones head :? as to why something that once worked, now doesn't! :x
Thanks for your input.

If you really want to upgrade to that "operation system", why not make a full backup of your current system
with disk imaging software like macrium reflect or acronis true image.

Well I have not noticed a problem with PB nor with my PB made applications.
However Win10 is a unfinished buggy ... missing the right smiley here ... OS.

Maybe in a few months it can actually be used productive :lol:

A direct quote from Microsoft regarding legacy support (jump to 0:16:00 in the video):

What issues did you face when migrating to Windows 7?
