     I was wondering how many people are using it now and how well it works with Autel's software suites ,  behaves with Maxi Sys Pro  and other automotive repair programs that you can  still currently get to work on a Windows 7 and Windows 8 PC, like auto repair software off an external hard drive.
    There is only a limited amount that you can upgrade from Windows 7 or 8 for free, but if it's going to cause me grief and hours of down time , and where incompatibility problems out weigh getting the latest gimmick of a talking to Cortana , consumer tailored search  bar , or simply a bigger  multi media Barrage of BS , just to get a couple security holes filled where the sun doesn't shine don't make sense to me.

     It has not been tested. Talk to GM specialist. If you will do reflashing using our J2534, it will not work. Maxisys Printer, VCI update, and VCI reflash drivers may not be recognize on Windows 10. 

    Unless someone has a different answer on this.

    GM is having hard time to make Windows 7 and 8 compatible for reflashing not sure if other manufacture are the same.

     Looks like clicking on the window logo in tray is just for reserving a free Windows 10 upgrade  release after July 29 , not for immediate installation. Not sure if it was released in other countries already. I'm  sure Support will have more headaches after July 29, LOL.
      I'm thinking people will need to max out their computer memory and have several different Virtual Machines, running simultaneously, and you'll have to run a windows 10 compatible anti virus. Well if nothing seems compatible Maybe Cortana can help me find my penis

     So far, I've been able to work in several software in Windows 8.1.

    Most of the time I have to order to execute with administrator privileges or/and in Windows 7 or XP compatible mode.

     I upgraded my Windows 7 PC with Ubuntu to Windows 10 and my DS 708 printer still prints from playback  ok  . PC on start up still gives choice on  boot up in Windows 10 or Ubuntu. Ubuntu still  works albeit there is quite a long wait time with a grey screen before something decides to happens if you choose to boot up in Ubuntu. Windows 10 just like Windows 7 The clock is 5 hours ahead after using Ubuntu LOL

     I'm running Windows 10 on 2 of my PC's. One of them has the Autel suite, Ford's J2534 program on it and all works well. No problem printing either.
