If you're the kind of person that's using "Classic Shell" you should probably not upgrade to windows 10. Just leave that machine on windows 7 until it dies, and you'll get windows 10 on the next PC. There is a way, however, you can keep your "free windows 10" option open forever and not worry abo

just for info, after installing win10 you have one month to switch back to 7 or 8.1(at least in germany!), after this time you have to set up older version manually -- *Walter Volbers* Senior Animator *FIFTYEIGHT*3D Animation & Digital Effects GmbH Kontorhaus Osthafen Lindleystraße 12 60

Hi, well sounds like I'm sticking with Win8.1 until the roaring 20's then. My reason for sticking to windows is that a few years ago I used have a dual and on the mac tripple boot scenario with Win (PS, Video, AFX), Linux (3d) and MacOSX (iOS dev) and it just got too much hassle to keep all that op

I have no 'deep' knowledge of windows internals besides what sysadmins used to have. Usually windows is *extremly* backward compatible. Software that was designed for WindowsXP is usually running fine with win7, 8 and 10. Depends on the software of course but XSI is running fine with windows10 a
