Thanks, both you.<br />

Rollback and image backup seem to be the current solutions. But I also need to update drivers.

I use the Manufacturer's site to download and update drivers. That works well.

Good, careful advice, which is what I needed.

I've successfully converted two W8.1 machines to W10, which I like a lot.<br />
<br />
After conversion, one of the W8.1 machines was unable to detect a particular app, Ad-Aware Antivirus. By first uninstalling this app and then re-installing it, I was able to get W10 to recognize it.<br />
<br />
I am now planning to convert a workhorse W7 machine to W10. But the W7 machine really is a workhorse and really is fundamental to my work.<br />
<br />
Is there any way of pre-testing the W7 machine so I can find out what apps W10 is likely to failure to recognize?<br />

Pre-checking Windows 10 for failures to recognize specialised applications

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.
