Windows 10
Surrounded by Macs and PCs, and one of the latter that happened to be upgraded to Windows 10 last week just also happened to be the one used to publish the blog. Windows 10 is a massive improvement on Windows 8 (so bad that Microsoft skipped “9” altogether to distance themselves from the embarrassment) and everything upgraded smoothly straight from Windows 7. Really impressed with Windows 10, but the exception that proved the rule concerning compatibility with previously installed programs is the software used to publish the blog – which now crashes upon launching. Despite endless “Googling” there doesn’t appear to be an immediate solution, so there could be delay before the next post!
Good Luck with that! Interested to hear more, please keep us updated on 10!. thank you.
“compatibility mode” is what you require.
Google how to set a shortcut to use it.
The only problem I have, so far, is that y pictures don’t download automatically into dropbox anymore, I have to download them myself.
Going to do the update in a dayor so. Must get a full back-up first just in case.
I upgraded perfectly – no problem. Can’t believe Microsoft got something right at last!
Thanks for the advice Joe. Compatibility mode unfortunately wouldn’t work, but finally got round it this morning by creating a new user and re-installing the software there. Looks like the original user settings got messed up in the upgrade.
I dived in and did the update this am. It went well but it murdered my Kaspersky 2014 AV. Had to buy the newer version. Apart from that all seems ok. I say seems as I haven’t tested everything yet!
You shouldn’t have had to buy the new version. But you should have updated your version before you did the upgrade to 10.
