Windows 7 Professional 64 > Windows 10 question

[THAVICIOUS1]

Hi guys i know some of you all may just wait out on installing windows 10, i myself have Windows 7 Professional 64/ so i do believe this gets upgraded to Windows 10 Professional 64 bit? My question is this, okay i have all legal version of Adobe, Photoshop, Illustrator, Bandicam FRAPS, etc all of these programs are already installed, does this mean i will have to wait till the guys upgrade to windows 10 compatible software? Because i fear if i install the software i will lose everything, nothing wont get reformated right, i never done an upgrade before every in my years of building computers.. just buying new hard drives and buying new operating systems for them.

Thanks in advance guys!

Yes you will get 10 pro 64bit when you upgrade.
It's extremely unlikely your apps will stop working, even my weird programs that I had to mess with windows to install (python) are still working after upgrading for 8.1pro to 10.
You may have to reinstall your video card drivers with proper windows 10 ones is all.

99% probability they will work.

In the Notification thing, it checks your PC, including any applications. It will let you know if there is a conflict.
See the column on the right:

To be sure, wait until your app said it windows 10 supported.
And always backup your data.

You should deactivate Adobe products and any similar programs that has restrictions with how many pc is allowed to be activated with before upgrading to window 10.

Yes you will get upgraded to Windows 10 Professionsal. And hen you do the upgrade all your software will still be there after (the installer should check for any incompatible hardware/software when starting and let you know of any conflicts). You might want to check if all the programs you use regularly work with Windows 10 or if anyone had problems with them. Most programs that work in Windows 7/8/8.1 should work in Windows 10 without problems aswell though.

I would still recommend making backups of any important files, photos etc just incase if anything goes wrong during the process.

Didn't realize i had all my pictures on a different drive... so i know i'll be safe then... okay so all the stuff on my desktop are mainly my document folders will those have all my apps and documents in the folders? upon the Win10 update?

Also, like all the stuff on my desktop such as my pictures, music, etc all of that will still stay there upon the upgrade right? Me and my fiancee takening well over 1,000 pics from '12 when we've met till now and don't want to lose any of it! Thank you guys soo much for being honest with me!

Regardless of whether you are upgrading or not, those pictures and music files really, really need to be backed up on another device.
Right now, you are but one drive fail away from losing all of it.

Didn't realize, i had my photos on my F drive so i think i'll be on the safe side though right? Just have to move my photoshop work to another folder

 

[Samat]

You are safe with the upgrade, but you never know when a hardware failure would occur. You should have a backup whether or not you upgrading to Windows 10.

Any photo of which there is only one copy may be said to not exist at all.
Drive fail, file corruption, virus, whatever....poof, all gone.

You need at least 2 copies of anything that would be painful to lose.

Yeah there are some workarounds, but running the setup from the hidden folder definitely doesn't work.
