If you have some sort of external drive or USB stick large enough it's best if you simply copy the entire iTunes folder to it. In case you have to reinstall iTunes you can do so, then before you open the program for the first time delete the iTunes folder the install created in your Music folder and replace it with the one you copied from your old machine. Now if you open iTunes all should be as it was on your old machine.
I know this is not what some say is necessary and it's beyond the scope of this list, but I assume you are on Jaws 17 and I would recommend that you completely uninstall it before the upgrade and then reinstall it once the Windows 10 update has finished and everything is working. It "should" go OK without this as long as you are on one of the Jaws versions of course which support Windows 10, but when I did the update on my laptop with Jaws in place all sort of things were weird and not talking properly. I then actually went a step further and completely wiped the computer, repartitioned and reformatted the hard drive (an SSD in my case) and reinstalled Windows 10 from scratch after I used the Media Creation Tool to put Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit on a USB stick from which I could install. After that I reinstalled Jaws and all worked beautifully. Of course this also was a year ago and Windows 10 is a lot further along than it was then. My Mom upgraded her PC without any issues and so did my brother.

Can anyone please tell me what I need to do to ensure that I can get back into the programme, preferably without having to do all the initial setting up and putting all my music there once again. Of course I realise the upgrade itself may not go to plan and will deal with those eventualities, but would be so glad of some advice on how I should do this, assuming all works well. My other PC does not have iTunes on it but I do have all my music safely stored away, should I really come unstuck. Please let me know specifically what I need to backup for iTunes to work correctly. Thanks for any advice you can give. Carol P -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
