*Webinar Description* The Windows 10 operating system is not so much a choice as it is an inevitability. As Microsoft continues to remove support from Windows 8 and earlier versions, you should get on board the Windows 10 upgrade train now! Learn the new features of Windows 10, how it will impact how you research genealogy, and more. You’ll also learn which default Windows 10 settings to change as well as how to fix common “annoyances” experienced by most users. *View the Recording at FamilyTreeWebinars.com* If you could not make it to the live event or just want to watch it again, the 1 hour 47 minute recording of "Windows 10 Survival Guide for Genealogists" is now available to view in our webinar library <http://familytreewebinars.com/archived_webinars_bydates.php> for free for a limited time.

My theory has always been: why should I be a bug fixer for Microsoft (or you can change it to Apple, HP, etc.)? I almost never upgrade or buy the “.0 version” of something. You won’t find me waiting in line outside the Apple store for the latest iPhone. I know that I can usually save money by staying at least one version back and waiting for the “.1 version” of something. However, with Windows 10, things are a bit different due to the way in which Microsoft is deploying the operating system and including a big financial incentive. When Windows 10 debuted in mid-2015, Microsoft announced that qualified users (those on Windows 7 and Windows 8) could receive Windows 10 for *free* . So, like me, you probably endured the constant notifications when you booted up each morning asking if you wanted to download and install Windows 10. And like me, you kept putting it off. Or perhaps, you clicked YES by mistake and you then had to deal with fixing lots of things. And now, Microsoft is enforcing its deadline of July 29, 2016, to get the free upgrade. After that date, you will need to pay $119 USD for the same upgrade. That’s why I wrote *Windows 10 Survival Guide for Genealogists*. I upgraded several of my devices starting in December 2015 and while I did lose access to some default settings, and I had to reinstall some software, it was not as bad an experience as I had heard others describe. However, the hours I spent “fixing” my system kept me from researching family history. So I’ve compiled a list of “annoyances” to check once the upgrade to Windows 10 is complete. In this guide I also offer advice on how to prepare for the upgrade, what to do if you don’t qualify for the free upgrade, and also why you might not want to even upgrade at all! I’ve pulled together a huge list of resources at the end of this guide, along with additional reading. This guide can’t possibly cover every possible upgrade situation or system configuration . . . as they say “Your mileage may vary.” But, at the very least, you’ll have the tools needed to find answers to your Windows 10 questions. Learn and benefit from my experiences in going through the Windows 10 upgrade! 48 pages | Published 2016 | PDF (download-only) edition *[image: Buynow] <http://legacy.familytreewebinars.com/windows-10-survival-guide-for-genealogists-by-thomas-macentee-pdf-edition-electronic-p761.php>* *Webinar Memberships/Subscriptions* Webinar Members get: - On-demand access to the entire webinar archives (now 382 classes, 543 hours of genealogy education) - On-demand access to the instructor handouts (now 1,666 pages) - On-demand access to the live webinars' chat logs - 5% off all products at www.FamilyTreeWebinars.com (must be logged in at checkout) - Access to all future recordings for the duration of their membership - Chance for a members-only door prize during each live webinar - Access to register for bonus members-only webinars - Ability to view which webinars you are registered for - Use of the playlist, resume watching, and jump-to features Introductory pricing: - Annual membership: $49.95/year - Monthly membership: $9.95/month Click here to subscribe <http://legacy.familytreewebinars.com/memberships-c11.php>. *Register for our upcoming webinars (free)* - Researching Women - Community Cookbooks and What They Tell Us About Our Ancestors by Gena Philibert-Ortega.
