    Will upgrading from win 7 to win 10 still keep chrome passwords?


    I ask this as i currently have no way to do any form of backup and wont be able to for some time but the only things i would need when i do upgrade is my chrome passwords and my steam games as have not long done a full reset using the acer e recovery program. Im using the steam beta client at present and running win 7 home premium.

    Thanks for any help.

    :)

    Can I keep Windows 7 after upgrading to Windows 10

    When upgrading to Windows 10 from 7, will Win 10 be using the license key from my Win 7 install? Will I still be able to use that license key to install Win7 on a different drive and/or machine?

    Would the Win 7/8 license transfer to Win 10 and therefore be unusable for the OS it was originally for?

    I am not quite ready to abandon 7 altogether and I would even prefer to do the upgrade to 10 on a fresh drive and keep my current Win 7 install, but I would understand if this offer was upgrade only.

  3. Upgraded from Win 7 32x to 10 64x. SO S-l-o-w. Go back to 7? Win 10 32x?

    I upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10. The 64x Win 10 is problematic and Edge is OK, unless more than 1 window is opened. I can use Chrome, but it also lags terribly. Can I downgrade from Win 10 x64 to Win 10 x86? OR should I go back to Win 7 and upgrade to
    Pro or Ultimate? Absolutely frustrated. Thanks for any advice.

    I would not recommend upgrading without a backup. But upgrading doesn't reset passwords you have, as these are data / cookies passed along by the upgrade.

    Sorry, no idea. Not a gamer. But it should move over all your apps and their data, which should include installed games.

    Will upgrading from win 7 to win 10 still keep chrome passwords?

    I can't speak for 7->10 upgrade, but when I did 8.1->10 I found that all of my Apps were still there and that included my Steam Apps. Everything worked except for a few minor configuration issues I fixed easily.

    Steam didn't seem to even realize it was on a different OS.
