We can only really say that there does not seem to be a problem with the most straightforward upgrade scenario. There may be an issue, with Windows or with AOO, in some more complicated scenarios. Or not. It might be worth asking a few questions to see if there is a pattern: 1) What version of Windows did you upgrade from? 2) 32 bit or 64 bit? 3) The Windows 10 upgrade gives three options: a) Fresh install, b) Preserve Data and Programs and c) Preserve data only. Which did you do? 4) Where were the documents stored that AOO sees as read-only? Local HD? USB stick? Cloud storage? 5) Do you see this problem with other applications and their documents, or only with AOO? Regards, -Rob > Rory > >> >> On Tue, Aug 4, 2015 at 12:46 PM, Dennis E.
