Windows 10: Will Windows 10 Creators Update delete installed programs/software ?

Currently Win 10 Pro with all updates as of today.

If I install Windows 10 Creators Update I know that i have the option to keep Files and Apps, but will I need to re-install all my programs/software ?

If its going to delete them then its a no go, it will take far too long and just not worth it for an update

thanks

Creators Update

Hi,

You could try to execute those programs with Compatibility mode... anyway, it would be better to contact the software house of each application and ask for a new version compatible with the latest build of Windows 10.

In the meantime, in order to prevent Creators Update from installing on your pc, you could follow these steps: How to prevent Windows 10 from installing the Creators Update • Pureinfotech

You should be able to get security updates with these ways.

Hope this helps.

An in place upgrade will retain all your 3rd party stuff. I was amazed just how good the upgrade path was, even my start menu was essentially unchanged. Everything worked.
