[QUOTE="pnomanikon, post: 771616, member: 43342"] I am no computer expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I will share this in the hope it eases your worries. We also had Win 7 on our computer for several years. I have Photoshop Elements 2016 and several music recording/editing software programs. My wife uses TurboTax to do our taxes each year, and last year, the 2020 program required Win 10. I was very hesitant to upgrade, and even contemplated buying a second computer so I could keep Win 7. Our son (aerospace and mechanical engineer) convinced us it would be OK to upgrade. The upgrade went well, and in the end, all of my programs still work. Apparently, Win 10 is friendly and plays well with others. Still - [B]Back Everything Up[/B] on an external hard drive before you upgrade. Your mileage may vary. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
