  3. Will the windows 10 free upgrade remove all of the programs off my computer?

    Will upgrading from Windows 7 or later preserve my personal files, applications and settings?

    Yes, upgrading from Windows 7 or a later version will preserve your personal files (documents, music, pictures, videos, downloads, favorites, contacts etc, applications (ie. Microsoft Office, Adobe applications etc), games and settings (ie. passwords, custom
    dictionary, application settings).

    Will my existing programs, hardware and drivers work on Windows 10?

    Most applications and hardware drivers designed for Windows 7 or later should work with Windows 10. Of course, with significant changes expected in Windows 10, it is best you contact the software developer and hardware vendor to find out about support for
    Windows 10. Windows 10 setup will keep, upgrade, replace and might require that you install new drivers through Windows Update or from the manufacturers website.

    You can also download the Download the Windows 10 Reservation App and use it to check your system readiness.

    to reserve your free upgrade to Windows 10

    No, it will not, as you are upgrading instead of a fresh install, my guess is that you will be fine.

    I had apps installed to a separate drive and afterwards they were fine, though I did have to remove my other two sata drives to get my upgrade accomplished on that particular system, and plugged them back in after first boot.
