Windows 10: Software ran on Win 7 not compatible With 10

I am a relative newbie with Win 10 with many years experience with Win 7 and its predecessors. So, I have lots of software accumulated through the years.

Why does so much of it simply not install on Windows Ten? Even though I select various troubleshooting tasks when it won't load, indicating it worked well on 7?

Thanks in advance for reading this, and especially if you decide to answer.

Win 7 and Win 10 on network

Thank you. Troubleshooter did not work. I ran all the listed commands in order and that also did not work.

None of the Windows 10 computers on my home network are on the network list of the Win 7 computer but the Lan connected windows 10 computer does show up on the Windows 7 computer network map.

Any other fixes suggestions would be appreciated?

 

Win 10 compatibility

I have both Win 7 and 8.1 on different computers and looking to upgrade to Win 10. A few months ago, I found a list of applications/software that was, or was not, compatible with Win 10. It is not assuring to know that Win 10 is compatible with
most applications - I wish to know if it is compatible with all of my applications before upgrading. I do not propose to rush into upgrading if, like when upgrading to Win 8.1, I was forced to buy new applications.

Does anyone know of how to find the list I am referring to please. I did not save it at the time because I had to leave on holidays and now cannot find it.
