The upgrade is free. Very easy, and it even saved all my presets etc from 7. So you can do that 8 to 10 free of charge, piece of cake. The only real difference I notice is it has all of 7, and all of 8. You have a choice, touch screen , app mode, or keyboard and start menu like 7. I liked the change and so far havnt lost any hardware. Everything still works, and faster too. You can go back too if you don't like it. I was ready to go back. But really liked it.

i had AE version 10 and it would not work with Win8.1
they upgraded me to version 12.1 and the only issue i have is with the computer storing the activation code.
otherwise version 12.1 works fine.

Sorry, should have clarified. I meant windows 10. Not AE. I have AE 7.2.3 and windows 10.

One good thing about the upgrade if you decide you don't want it you can go back to the previous OS within a certain amount of days. Oh, and I would do an "image backup" with a program like Norton Ghost (been replaced by a newer product that I haven't tried) or Clonezilla or at least a data backup before proceeding.

I've been on Win10 for about a week now and can't find anything to brag about or trash just yet. It does seem to move a little faster and has a different look, other than that it's pretty much just business as usual. I have some older software that wouldn't run on Win7 that I am hoping 10 will run but haven't tried it yet. Will uninstall/install AE tonight and see how it goes.

I use my computer for just a few things, and 10 has been just fine for now. I'm sure some people with special computers and stuff may have issues. But I just have a simple touch screen lap top that I do my billing on. My biggest fear was my fax, printer, copier wouldn't work anymore. Really need that. It worked fine. My upgrade said I could go back any time. Didn't say any time limit. I put the file on a card anyway. Cards in a drawer safe and sound. Don't think I'll need it though. Thanks for the heads up.

oh, ok. i used to have AE 7.2, but sold it after i won AE 10.31 in an internet givaway.
used that without any problems until the win XP laptop finally died and i had to update back in march.
that was when i found out AE 10.31 would not work with Win 8.1
