Windows 10 Will you or have you Upgraded?

What specific app was written for Win 10 that won't run on Win7 ? ?

Windows 8/Modern Apps will run on Windows 10, but not on Windows 7. (Basically stuff from the Windows Store)

Windows 10 App Framework apps won't run on Windows 7 either. (effectively the same deal)

I'm not aware of any standard desktop applications that can run on Windows 10 (or windows 8, for that matter) but not on Windows 7, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were programs that weren't supported on Windows 7 simply because they were never tested on any system earlier than Windows 8. There are some changes to the desktop API but they are rather minor and I'd be surprised if any vendor decided to drop support for anything later than XP.

Can't personally name an app from the Windows store that i would miss dearly.

Windows 10 feels much more like it is designed for desktops than Windows 8 ever did.  I also quite like having the same OS on both a PC and my Windows tablet where it works great on both.

I have machines running W7, W8 and W10.  I don't plan to upgrade the machines running W7 & W8.  As a general rule, I abhor upgrades. W10 is a decent OS but not good enough that I would upgrade machines that are running perfectly fine with their current OS.  I recently purchased a new laptop and specifically sought out one that came with W10.

I haven't upgraded yet but will be doing when I build my new PC (hopefully this weekend).  I've only used Windows 10 for about 10 minutes which is more than I've used Windows 8 - not for any specific reason, I just didn't get around to trying Windows 8 properly.

How long did you run Win ME...just curios....

[Calum]

I didn't run it at all, never had a PC with it on.  We just sort of naturally skipped it with our family PC which was the only machine in the house back then, purely because we didn't upgrade very often.

Years. Nothing wrong with it... So long as you had the pre internet explorer 6 version (Or pre-IE5, I forget now).

All Versions of Windows ME came with Internet Explorer 5.5.

Windows ME wasn't really much worse than Windows 98SE, though it wasn't really any better, either, given that it eliminated the ability to drop to DOS (which was considered rather important at the time). The main problem, and the biggest reason Windows ME has gotten such a smear to it's name, is very much the same reason Vista is so maligned, which is that manufacturers that prepackaged their PCs with the OS used underpowered hardware loaded with garbage.
