    I am about to Upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10 but tell it to keep all my FIles, Programs, etc...

    Is there a correct way to do this with Native Access?

    Will my licences still work?

    Anyone tried this?

    Haven't tried this myself but I wouldn't expect much trouble here since upgrading is pretty seemingless. As long as you make sure that your computer meets all the needed requirements. As always: making a backup of your data is highly advisable!

    I also don't expect any issues with licenses and such, assuming that you haven't used this on other computers as well before. Reason I say this is because I've had a major computer crash a few months back (SSD failed) and I used a replacement computer (long story). Restored my backup and everything continued to work easily. Only Live required a new activation, with Reason I could remove my old PC and authorize my new one and with Komplete everything just continued to work as if nothing happened.

    So... I wouldn't expect any trouble here.

    Do a backup first. And as far as i remember it works without any problems. And if it makes problems reinstall native access will most likely solve it.

    Be sure to mak a restore point in case you need to go back to Win 7...ideally making clone of Win7 disk ideal, if possible. Late reply, might not be helpful

    Spiffo - I'm dying to know how you got on??? I have only recently spent hours (and hours and hours) installing Komplete 12 UCE, and everything is working super well on Win7, but now it's no longer supported I am looking to upgrade it to Win10. But I'm terrified that it will caused problems with my NI installations, and I'm literally dreading the prospect of re-installing ALL those programes again!! (I did them one at a time too due to issues with NA constantly hanging and not refreshing during installations).

    Anyone else upgraded from Win7 to Win10 recently???
