Thanks to all for the support.
Like I said, I WAS running Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) with 8 gigabytes of
RAM and a 1 TB hard drive.
The main apps I run are FM10, Adobe Acrobat Pro (version 9, I think), MS Office
2010 and a real oldie-but-goodie "Eudora Version 7.1.0.9" -- the best e-mail
client around. It continues to beat Outlook, which I'm stuck with at my office.
Even though Qualcomm dropped it a few years ago but still owns the rights,
Eudora is still very much used with a very active user-base and e-mail list.
Oh, and it's FREE!
Thunderbird was said to be its successor, but even _it_ has been discontinued.
And there was even a "Eudora OS" (or something with a similar name), but that
is also a no-go.
Let me know if any of you want more info on getting it, etc.

If you're simply upgrading from 7/8>10, it'll probably happen painlessly and
you can revert if need be. (The files can be deleted at some point in the
future if you decide you need more disk space.)As others mentioned, expect some
drivers updates... applications are less likely to be affected, but the older
they are, probably the more likely they will be. You don't mention your
hardware platform, but if you're on a 64bit, you can expect some quickness to
show up.

Ken,
I can't say for sure in your situation, but when IT upgraded us from Win 8.1 to
Win 10, we did not have to reactivate any Adobe products. (Ironically, we did
have to reactivate Microsoft Office, even though the version of that had not
changed.)
We have TCS 5 -- so FM 12, Acro XI, etc. Everything (thankfully!) ran just
fine, even though it is not officially supported on Win 10. There were some
posts on the Adobe Forums about the Win 10 upgrade objecting to FM 12, but
other reports that the upgrade went smoothly. So it may depend on some subtle
differences in system configuration.
Regards,
Penelope

Subject: [Framers] Windows 10 "hijacked" my computer
Well, Gang, Windows 10 wants me and it wants me NOW!
Some months ago, I signed up for the free offer of Windows 10 for installation
at MY convenience.
Early this morning when I check the home desktop, Windows 10 had apparently
self-installed overnight. (I usually leave the platform on all night.)
I rebooted and when prompted with the Windows 10 EULA (end-user license
agreement), I declined. Windows 10 said it would then "reinstall my Windows 7".
I didn't have time to wait for it so I let it do its own thing and left for my
office; I'll see how things played out when I get home tonight.
Two questions:
1. Regarding FrameMaker (I'm running FM10), am I facing any operational or
other problems or must I reinstall it? If so, that might be a problem because I
didn't "de-activate" my second license. (One is on the desktop and one is on a
laptop.)
2. Am I facing any general problems with Windows 10?
I hate when this happens.
