Re: [libreoffice-users] LO 4.4.x and Windows 10 testing

You are doing a process that will save your data, or so it states. I 
would back your data up anyways.
I had items pinned to the taskbar and they were saved.  The 
apps/packages were still there.

With the ISO upgrade, I seem to have one month to go back to Win7, via 
an option included.  But that means that you will need extra space for 
the Windows.old folder, where Win7 is saved.

You have to look for it, but there is a Media Creation Tool that will 
download/create the ISO file[s] you need so you can upgrade multiple 
PCs.  It will create all 4 "home" versions - Professional 32 and 64 bit, 
and Home 32 and 64 bit.  I made DVDs of all 4 versions.  Mostly, I will 
be using the 64 bit versions.

To me, this was better than waiting for my "reservation" to come in for 
all my systems.
