Windows 10 and Windows 7 incompatibility, risks and solutions.

Windows 10 and Windows 7 incompatibility, risks and solutions.

Windows 10


Windows 10 will be free for users of Microsoft Windows 7. This gesture grows now validate the booking process, however, change the operating system is not a trivial operation to a PC.Problems can arise, including those related to the compatibility. Here's how Microsoft plans to resolve these concerns (inevitable) with some Windows 7 computers.
Windows 7

Windows 10 and Windows 7 incompatibility, three possible cases.

It is reassuring to say that in almost all cases, the installation of Windows 10 will be possible, even if compatibility problems are present. Microsoft knows that such concerns will be met. The problem is serious especially against the method established for this migration since once the reservation is made, the necessary files will be downloaded automatically as they are installed on D-Day Mismatches can occur in applications, devices, and settings system.

Software incompatibilities - Solution Uninstall

The first case is probably the most common problem when installing Windows 10. It is possible that some applications running on the computer or present do not appreciate this change of environment. They will then become ineffective, that is to say, it will not be possible to execute them. Microsoft says that if software of this nature are detected, the user will be prompted to uninstall them during the upgrade process. It seems it will not be possible to override that choice knowing that the firm adds
"The application interfere with the installation process prevents complete successfully. "
Clearly without uninstalling these recalcitrant applications, migration to Windows 10 is not possible.

Hardware incompatibilities - physical removal, deactivation or impossible migration

Incompatibilities with the peripherals will be their most annoying side. Depending on the degree of incompatibility, it will be physically uninstall the device (if possible), or disable it until compatible or replace the drivers. If there is a secondary device, there are chances that a quick solution is possible but if it touches the heart of the system (motherboard, graphic solution, architecture ...) the upgrade to Windows 10 will be impossible . Microsoft says that in this scenario
"This could result in a degraded experience (such as no display support for high resolutions) or a complete failure to set depending on the device [...] Some devices or PC components can be critical to Windows 10 so that it can function correctly and if such a device is not compatible, you will not be able to install the update "

Incompatibility with the settings - Over update but a "clean" installation of Windows 10

Finally incompatibilities related settings may prevent the process of updates to function well. Some of the settings on a Windows 7 computer might be disturbed by pop-migration to Windows 10. The solution then is to make an actual installation "clean" system, that is to say, a full installation of Windows 10 which will cause loss of all parameters, but personal files will be kept
