Windows 10: Programs and Games.

I have some programs in Windows 10 like Steam that I don't want to lose, will Upgrading to Windows 10 delete these?

:)

 

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

 

Will Windows 10 be able to play older games/programs?
