Aside from Windows 10 looking like a 1980 Japanese cheap car (unlike
Windows 10 they worked fine and where a good bargain<g>) it has serious
privacy issues. I wouldn't install it. The freebee license is worthless.
If you upgrade the motherboard no more license. It's most sensitive to
the network card. If the mac address changes poof goes the lic.
If you want the lic just back up you data install and let Win 10
activate and then go back to 7 until the bugs and privacy issues are
ironed out. The next update will appear on August 2 and you can do all
your customizations again. The last update was more or less a reinstall
and I doubt this one will be any better. Win 10 just sux unless you are
a game and need DX12.

So I must convert to W10 soon, or lose my "freebie". Since I've never

W10 compatability report says "all o.k.".
Is Sea Monkey compatible with W10? If not, what do I have to do so it
will work? Will it have to be reinstalled? Should it be uninstalled
before the conversion?
I save up-to-date copies of the profile and ini in a separate HD, but in
W10 have no idea where to find the profile so I can copy in the saved
version. Help, anyone? (What is the path to the profile, and how do I
find it?) In W7 I know the answer, but W10 is a mystery with a confusing
UI.
What happens to extensions and plug-ins?
I probably have the same questions about everything else--programs, such
as word processing, security and back-up. Ditto with peripherals such as
mouse, monitor, keyboard and printer. Finding all the information I can.
A very intimidating process, to be sure! Taking the plunge soon--hope to
not drown.
Any and all help greatly appreciated!

My experience with upgrading from Win7 to Win10 with SeaMonkey installed
was: no issues. The Windows upgrade ran as MS advertises it, and all my
desktop and taskbar icons were untouched, and all worked as they had
before the upgrade. I've done this to 2 different machines in the last
week, same reeults.
In the event there were any issues, like you, I have a backup regimen in
place. But there was no need to restore a thing.
Your profile location is the same in W10 as in W7, so that's not an
issue.
If you're still nervous, best thing I can recommend is to turn off your
antivirus during the upgrade, just to be sure it doesn't actively block
anything during the process. Once the upgrade is done, turn your AV
back on (or re-install it if it complains).
Thank you--that is very encouraging! Incidentally, my antivirus is
planned for an upgrade, so they recommend removing it, then reinstalling
the new version after the upgrade. Seems to match your thoughts!
Thank you again.
