Okay, got it. I think I may at least try keeping 6, if it will work on Windows 10, and I'm very much "on" to keeping it in the directories as you mention here, Steve. So, I'll do that on the new computer and at last try it, with not upgrading after all. My two issues (will 6 work on Windows 10, and does the later version allow embedded photos) have been answered in such a way that I believe I can stick with 6. Thanks, Barb
