Hello,
I have been playing with windows 10 since it became available in my country, and i tried as much upgrade scenarios as possible, ranging from the default GWX upgrade path, to a scratch install. I have also tested the rollback feature. So far i tested the following environments :
Machines:
-Netbook samsung NP-N130 / atom N270, 1Go DDR2
-Notebook Toshiba Lifebook A530 / core i3, 2Go DDR3
-Notebook Fufitsu Siems Esprimo Mobile D9510 / core2Duo P8700m, 4Go DDR3
-VMware & Virtualbox VMs
-Several rigs powered by Core2 duo E5300, Core2 Quad Q9650, Core i7 920
Scenarios:
-Scratch install
-Upgrade from an existing Windows 7 Pro x64 system
-Upgrade from an existing Windows 8.1 Pro x64 system
-Rollback to a former Windows 8.1 system
Once in Windows 10, i noticed the following softwares required some "help" in order to work again, either :
* : an .msi repair
* * : a complete reinstall
* * * : a permanent uninstall ( compatibility mode couldn't fix it )
* * * * : some registry hacks
* * * * * : some minor adjustements
Softwares issues:
MS Money 2005 * * * *
Pinnacle VideoStudio Pro 16 * * *
Linn Songcast * *
Linn Kinsky * * * * *
MAGIX Video easy TERRATEC Edition *
Paragon's HFS+ * *
Drivers issues:
Radeon HD4000 series no longer supported, poor performance, no CCC
Please share your experience regarding Windows10 migration and possible drivers troubles.
I will update this post as soon as i stumble upon more troublesome softwares, feel free to PM me if you want to report faulty softwares after your Windows 10 upgrade !
