@RDPetruska It's a dev machine full of old code, libraries and compilers that are no longer supported or distributed. One particular library was made by a company that no longer exists, and there's no way to reinstall it on a new machine because their licensing server is gone. It will keep working forever on this machine, but there's no way to install it on a new one.

The code is being ported/recreated in a newer dev environment, slowly, but I need to buy more time before it can be fully decommissioned.

Why W10, and why now? Because one of the systems this thing interacts with has new security requirements, and their encryption tools won't run on W7. So now I'm stuck between old and new technologies, and W10 is my best chance.
