Question Windows 7 upgrade or no? READ

[Ekud311]

Okay so i built a new pc a year ago. My other PC was super old (mechanical hardrive + windows 7)

Question : Can i use my old windows 7 hardrive in my new pc as a storage device (second drive none boot) and everything will open / work with my current windows 10 system ? if you are able to do that?

I never wanted to update to windows 10 on the old one because of the fear of certain old programs not working properly and i accumulated years of programs and files, as a big portion of my business is on that drive. My plan was to convert to a SSD and clone that hardrive and use it.

Thanks.

Will the applications work?

Generally, no.

You might get some of them to work, but only after a lot of manual work.

The files on that drive are OK. But you'll likely run into permissions issues.


What "old programs" specifically?
