When Windows 10 arrives, will your files and apps survive? - CNET

▤ Summary

This icon debuted June 1 to coax you to reserve your free copy of Windows 10 so that come July 29, the installation package is automatically downloaded to your PC. But whether or not youve made the reservation, you can still check your PC to see which hardware and software may not play ball with Windows 10. Remember that Windows 10 is still in beta mode with a release date of July 29 before the final product is out. That gives Microsoft and third-party vendors almost two months to smooth out compatibility issues and resolve any potential bugs. Therefore, youll want to note the names of any such applications and check to see if new or updated versions are available that you can install after Windows 10 is in place.
