Just to clarify: I had been running W7 Prof in both machines (64 and 32 bit)
I installed W10 and for about a week _most_ apps ran smoothly. However,
in one of the updates, about a week after W10 installed itself, when I
started the computer the f....g updating message started and took about
half an hour until the computer was in operation. Then I realized that
all my Windows apps were gone: Word, Excel,etc, etc. Some of the drivers
were also gone such as the printer, fax, etc. I had to download W10
versions. Even my Kaspersky dissapeared and had to download a W10
version. I was naturally very pissed as you might have surmised by now.
But after reinstalling painstakingly everything back, I have no issues.
As a matter of fact, I like the way W10 behaves.

Subject: Re: [NF] Just like VFP...
I've been running W10 both in my laptop (64 bit) and my desktop (32 bit) for
some months now and I had no major issues, appart from the fact that conversion
eliminated all Windows apps I had in operation (Office, Skype, etc) and others
such as Thunderbird, and had to reinstall them.
And yes, everything runs smoothly.
The only caveat is that it updates itself automatically even though I had been
running Windows 7 Professional in both machines. I believe there is a way to
prevent W10 to update itself automatically but it appears to be quite involved.

As for VFP, been up and running on Windows 10 64 Bit now for a week and no
problems to report at all apart from the fact that it runs much faster than on
Windows 7 (same machine and memory). Only gripe is that Windows has
automatically rebooted twice for updates (presumably) overnight as I put this
as the preferred update time and subsequently reloaded my two USB security
disks which were encrypted but with the wrong drive assignments and leaving
them locked by Bitlocker. Hence my overnight backups haven't been successful -
Hey Ho, Life goes on!
