I have it running on Win10, no problems. I only have Word and Excel from the
Suite installed since I don't need PowerPoint or Access any more :-) I do
have PowerPoint Viewer 2007 installed for any presentations I may get, and
that works fine, too.

It apparently works fine with the Windows 10 Technical Preview, but
you should be aware that Windows 10 doesn't exist yet; just the
Technical Preview. It probably isn't likely, but it *is* possible that
it works with the Technical Preview, but will not work when Windows 10
is released.

This is true. I guess we'll have to wait and see, just like I did with Win8.
Not saying you're wrong (you aren't very often that I've seen), but I heard
the same thing about Win8 and certain programs, and the ones I was worried
about work well with the pre-release and released versions of Win8 :-)

Somehow I feel that Win10 final release will be at least as
old-program-friendly as Win8 is (well, hoping so anyhow :-) ). Just a
feeling, though; nothing concrete yet.

I'm certainly not claiming that it won't work. As I said, "it probably
isn't likely, but it *is* possible."

My point is mainly that you should not trust everything in Technical
Previews/Beta Versions to also be in and work as well in the released
version. Some things do unexpectedly change.

Like 8.1, Win10 which will be full version ware, Win10 is also likely to
only provide two options when moving from an older o/s - (1) keep
personal files (docs, photos, music, etc. in the user profile default
location) but not programs and settings or (2) keep nothing.

As many have learned in the past...o/s backward compatibility with MSFT
or 3rd party software is not a given.
