I finally bit the bullet and converted to Windows 10. It was a long process, I set a timer to check on ithe conversion every 15 minutes as I never knew if/when the conversion would need a reaponse from me. All went reasonably well.
Here are my findings:
DO A FULL BACKUP OF EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU START!!!!
1st: Took forever to download
2nd: got hung up, after research decided to delete my security programs, seemed to solve it though I couldn't find any documentation to do this.
3rd: Plan on a lot more time, I checked the computer every 15 minutes to see if it needed a response, sometimes yes, sometimes no
4th: After it came up my screen resolution had been changed, fixed that
5th: Icons kept moving around, right click and changing the view solved that
6th: Very slow, researched that, paging problem. I just fixed that and it seemed to fixed the problem.
7th: All programs appear to work but when I went into PSE there were problems.
PSE Problem:
I only have one catalog on the PC, all others are on an EHD so the conversion only had to deal with the one. This didn't work out great. I first had blurry thumbnails, did a repair/optimize didn't help. Clicking on a thumbnail wouldn't expand it and when doing a search nothing would be found. This catalog had mostly pdf's in it. I also couldn't print anything.
Restored the catalog and data but still had expansion problems when I doble clicked a pdf. No messages at all. Ifinally tried a pdf outside of PSE and W10 asked me to select a program to open it with. That was the problem. All is now well and everything works fine. I do feel W10 is a bit slow but will work on that as time permits.
Overall the conversion went well. I just wish they would give some time estimates for the conversion so time management wasn't such an issue.
