David,

I do not believe there is truly an "in-place update" from Win7 to Win10 ... as far as I can tell, it will just do a full install of Win10, more or less wiping out any knowledge of any previously installed programs and applications. It will however still "preserve" your "data.  :-/


So, first, be sure to get some type of low-cost external USB drive, (amazingly cheap on Amazon, etc.), and do a full back-up of your Windows 7 system... so you have it all safely backed up and stored away.


Next, I suggest using a free tool to make a VMWare virtual machine that contains a complete "clone" of your entire Windows 7 system, just in case ...   That way, if you run into problems, after upgrading to Win10, you can always just start up that Win7 virtual machine to test those various versions of RDi, etc.

Hope that helps,

Mark S. Waterbury

Folks:

I've been resisting Windows 10 for a long time ... but our IT
department has determined that we have to upgrade (due to MS stopping
updates to Win 7).

How reliable is an in-place Win 7 to 10 upgrade?

I'm specifically concerned about RDi.  I have 5 copies of RDi
installed (different versions, so I can test my plug-in).

Thanks!

david
