That's what I fear. The upgrade might fail. So I'll make sure I have a back-up first. I agree that a clean install is best. But, I'm very reluctant to do that though. The error in Win10 started right after I re-installed Microsoft Flight Simulator which is a 150+ GB download. Also, I have...

I like to keep it simple too ie. kiss. But I also like good info especially with regards to backups. An example of backup notes might be: "The following software or drivers were updated .... to versions .... The following system changes were made... This is the last backup before the upgrade...

Thanks. For what it's worth, I still have Wordperfect 5.1, Lotus 123 v2.01, and dBase III+ running in a Dosbox in Win10 just for the heck of it. It would be interesting to know if they'd still run in Win11. Yes, I like Macrium too. But I wish the software would allow access to back-up notes...

Thanks. I am hoping that there's a centralized compatibility resource or list in the web that can provide the info without everyone having to test it out.

Is this possible? I'm getting tempted to upgrade but I'm concerned about compatibility issues with software I'm using now. Generally, I avoid upgrading unless there is a compelling reason to upgrade (a free upgrade is a good reason). Some of the legacy software in my Win 10 PC that are running...
