[QUOTE="LouCioccio, post: 569934, member: 12542"] I have upgraded my Virtual Windows on my Mac's that have either Window's 7 or 8.x to Windows 10. I have been beta testing Window's 10 since last year and had I know I would have bugged others as that beta is activated as with the others that I have. I help out our church and our club has donated a computer to their office which originally was an iMac and now replaced with a Mac Mini 8GB RAM and a SSD 500GB. I had cloned of their VM window's 8.x that had their applications so when I upgraded the other others I had to make sure all apps worked. It did then I upgraded the VM Clone of their Office Computer to see it the network church data base worked on my network. It did. I then did theirs but did have a few hit cups with the network shares till I toggled to remember credentials (similar to MacOS X and its shares) so no one has to enter passwords it automatically. The other hit cup was the scanner copier to scan a document and place it on the new Windows I just had to re link it. Whew! Windows 10 is similar to Windows XP,Vista, and 7 you actually have your Start menu back without any third party apps like Classic Shell or Start Dock. Just make sure you have enough space on your hard drive, you can update Windows 10, then go back to 7 or 8 with in a thirty day period. See this link: [url=http://www.howtogeek.com/253901/get-windows-10-for-free-after-july-29th-with-a-little-prep-now/]Get Windows 10 for Free After July 29th, with a Little Prep Now[/url] So you can go back and still be eligible. Now you have to make sure all apps program will work or are upgradeable. Biggest headache I had was installing Office 12 on two new Windows 8.x Dell's at the church it said it was incompatible. I looked at Setup.exe on the Disk and it had compatibility mode but I could not toggle it since it was a DISC! So I copied the disc to a folder on my external hard drive and gave it the same name as the commercial disc. I reselected setup.exe right click and changed compatibility mode and voila Windows 8 would accept it.
