I regularly test 2.53 and 2.57 on Windows Server 2016 (based on 10
14393) and 10 1903 (latest and greatest).
Personally I moved to 8.1. Support till 2023 and not such a sh*thole
like 10. With open-shell quite usable. Never thought I would say
something good about 8.x but ever changing 10 is a telemetry riddled
privacy risk and beta quality software,
I'm surprised. I remember when Win8 came out it was widely panned. My
impression was that M$ was alternating between serious systems that
power users like me appreciated (Win2000 Pro, WinXP Pro, Win7 Pro) and
playware that held dabblers' hands every step of the way (WinMe, Vista);
Win8 fit the latter description. Then when Win10 came out, even with the
various issues, I had the impression it was the pro type (this from
someone who wasn't shopping, so wasn't reading closely). And of course
as usual I waited for the beta testers ("early adopters") to shake out
the bugs before trying it. :-)
So in your opinion they're still trying to fix Win10?
If problems come up they will only be fixed for 2.53 and up.
There was a problem with regular expressions with 10 and 2.49.4. Some
websites didn't work. I think MS fixed it. If not 2.49.5 takes care of it.
Back up your full profile on an external drive.
Full automatic scheduled backups are part of my nightly routine. I lost
a whole day's work back in 1985 by failing to back up, and my motto ever
since has been, "if you love me, back me up."
As for a fallback from SM, I'm really not looking forward to that. I've
been here since Netscape 4, and I don't want to be thrown into the outer
darkness.
