Windows 10: Will Visual Basic based program be deleted after Windows10 Upgrade?

Hey guys please help me. I want to upgrade to Windows 10 but I am worried that my visual basic created program might get deleted and it is very important to me and it is not a commercial software but a private software created with Visual Basic I guess and I can't get it installed as the person who owns the software will be disturbed and also it contains some records.

During the installation as far as I remember cmd (as administrator) was also used so considering that I think it might stop working but if any one c help me in this problem it would be really great.

VB on 64-bit W10 machine

Hi Peter,

Visual Basic (VB) is a programming environment from Microsoft in which a programmer uses a graphical user interface (GUI) to choose and modify preselected sections of code written in the BASIC programming language. To download the latest
version of Visual Basic, refer to this article:
The latest supported Visual C++ downloads.

We look forward to your response.

 

Microsoft Visual C + + 2005, 2008 and 2010

I was going through my programs deleting some that I no longer use when I noticed that I have:

- Microsoft Visual C + + 2005 Redistrubutable 8.0.61001

- Microsoft Visual C + + 2005 Redistrubutable 8.0.56336

- Microsoft Visual C + + 2008 Redistrubutable - x86 9.0.30729

- Microsoft Visual C + + 2008 Redistrubutable - x86 9.0.30729.6161

- Microsoft Visual C + + 2010 Redistrubutable - x64 10.0.40219

- Microsoft Visual C + + 2010 Redistrubutable - x86 10.0.40219

Do I need all of theses?

I am running Windows 10 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor.

Thanks

 

Doing WIndows Upgrades normally do not cause loss of data or programs. Doing a Windows Clean Install will usually will wipe everything out first. It's possible for older programs that use VBA may have problems so be sure to make a copy of anything you don't want to lose, anything that you created or that exists nowhere else.

 

Thanks for the reply Berton. I hope it works.

 

You're welcome. Be prepared for it taking awhile, a lot depends upon your Internet speed, took me a bit over 5 hours for the download then install on a 1Mbps connection. Have done 4 and doing another now.
