How did you get your old software from previous windows versions over to
10? I tried and couldn't find any of my software or documents.

Probably you did what is normally called "Clean Installation". This
wipes your disk clean and starts all over again. The benefit is there
is no problems of conflict with old drivers that are not compatible with
10. Microsoft uses generic drivers because it has managed to analyse
millions of computers and laptops and came out with a workable solution.

Not original poster, but have upgrade three computers from Window 8.1 to
Windows 10.

The first consideration is what was your old OS?

If you had Windows 7 or 8.x, did you do it from the upgrade icon, ie
upgrade over the old OS, or did you do a clean install of Windows 10
with a disk reformat.

If you did a clean install, you will have to install each of your old
programs.

For most Windows 7 or 8.x, you should be able to find the them in the
app menu, click MS icon, in the lower right there is an icon with a lot
of bars. Clicking this will open the programs menu listing all of the
recognized installed programs. You program may be in a folder in the
program menu. ie Windows Accessories.

If you can not find the program on the installed program menu, go to the
Program files (x86), and locate your program in its folder. Right click
and in the pop up menu select pin to start and/or pin to taskbar.


I had to do this with a couple of my programs that run great under
Windows 10

I did the same thing over the past week or so. My two sons and mine all
upgraded without issue. My wifes Dell e6410 was the only one that I had to
revert back to 7. It had a weird display issue that would only use an
external monitor.

Anyway, 10 isn't to bad so far and it's kind of nice having everything on
one OS.

I found all of my files in some folder called "\\Network".
I don't see why they just didn't put the software in the appropriate
folders. Like VS2010 was in "\\Network". Like how hard was it for MS
to do the right thing?

Then there is the privacy concerns.
Not sure if I like having some of my programs shared with some
corporation that has no business looking at them.

Went over perfectly as part of the upgrades.

Ran a report before and after using SearchMyFiles from Nirsoft
and Folder Report. Not missing a single program, folder, file
or byte after the upgrade.

If your profile is screwed up in any way on the candidate
computer being upgraded, your files and settings will not
transfer over correctly.

Example, if you're cheap and bought a demo PC / notebook from
Costco, Best Buy or Frys that had their **** lockdown software
on it, I can guarantee the profile is hosed.

If you repaired the candidate Win 7/8 disk after a hardware
change and you have any folders with .000 or .001 on the end,
your profile will not upgrade across correctly.

If you have even the most basic file management skills, there is
no reason to keep a build forever these days. Buy a flash drive
and keep backups. If you change hardware, do a clean install
and put your apps / data back. It doesn't take that long and the
payback is all the free time gained for not screwing around with
known problems.

On the other hand, stay stupid and keep screwing up. You're
helping pay for college for my kids.

Because Microsoft knows that they are dealing with a bunch idiots like you.

Yes Corporations are interested in idiot like you so stop using Windows
10 and go back to Windows 95.

In your first post you said your documents were moved . Upgrading
shouldn't move any documents. Of course, if you did a clean install
eveything would be gone. No idea why your files (documents?) went into
a folder called "\\Network". Your programs should be there in your
apps list.

When I upgraded from Windows 8.1, using the Upgrade icon, all of my
files were left in the following directory

C:\Users\username\Documents

All of my programs were in a folder in the

C:/Program files (86)

I do not have a folder called Network

Had you been using a backup program on Windows 7?

One thing that I have used when I loose a file is to do a search for a
file that I knew was among those that were lost.

Go through all of the settings and disable anything that sounds like it
is automatically sending information back to MS. With use you may find
that you will want to reactivate some of them. Don't for get the
autofeed back in programs.

Be proactive on the updates, and go after them when you can install
them, and don't wait for MS to notify you.

Me too. Now have two laptops, two desktops, a microserver and a tablet
all running W10, and all performing well. It's great being able to
network them all so seamlessly. Two of the machines (laptop and
desktop) came from Vista, and both perform surprisingly well - even an
ancient 32-bit desktop which runs better than it ever did under Vista.
The only downside is that the graphics adapter isn't recognised (doesn't
even appear in Device Manager) so I'm limited to 1280px instead of the
1920 I had before, but in any likely future use of that machine this
won't be an issue. It was a cheap and cheerful Ebay-builder special
nine years ago!

Of the other machines, a desktop and tablet were bought with W8, a
laptop with W7, and the server (HP Microserver) was a clean install
(works a treat as a fileserver).

If you do a clean installation, you can *not* put your apps back from
a backup. They have to be reinstalled from their original media.

Most of us have spent a lot of time configuring Windows and the
installed applications the way we like them. When you have to do this
it *does* take a lot of time. I've done a clean reinstallation very
seldom, but the last time I did it, it took me about three days.
