OT: filepro & Windows 10 Enterprise - Evaluation Version

[Richard Kreiss]

Top post:

Upgraded two desktops from 8 to 8.1 without a problem.

The evaluation copy moved all of the The original Window's folder to windows.old and left my appl folder alone. I only had to reinstall fp's license service and recreate the desktop icon. 

Of course, it did backup what needed to be backed up.
