    Older version of Software's are not supported in Windows 10

    Since you don't want me to, I won't suggest buying a newer version, but I'll point out that if it is not supported in windows 10, it is not supported in windows 10.

    You essentially have four choices:

    1. Run Windows Defender, which comes with Windows 10.

    2. Run some other anti-virus program, for example a free one like Avast.

    3. Buy a newer version.

    4. Run an older version of Windows and run your antivirus on it.

    And let me also point out that there's nothing new about Windows 10 in this respect. Whenever a new version of Windows comes out, there is always some older software that won't run on it.

  3. Older versions of PC suite?

    It always helps if you re-install an older version that you first delete all (newer) Nokia software from your PC.

    However why not installing SP2 ? The Windows update contains a lot of fixes and more and more software is requiring the latest version of the OS. In this end this could be less trouble then going through the hassle of re-installing older versions of the software....!?

    Upgrade to a newer version of Windows 10

    What is the charge/cost to upgrade my laptop to a newer version of Windows 10 since it appears that I am running an older version of Windows 10 and keep getting promos to upgrade?
