OT: filepro & Windows 10 Enterprise - Evaluation Version

[Fairlight]

That doesn't really count.  I'm talking about any registered programs in
Program Files or Program Files (x86).  

Either 8 -> 8.1 is the exception, or it treated filePro's folder as "data".
I know there is no migration path from XP to 7, or from 7 to anything else.
I've read that there will be none from 7 to 10 or 8/8.1 to 10.

Which means there's no way in hell I'm doing it, even with the free upgrade
they were offering.  It's a non-starter.  It takes me weeks to get my
system the way I want it, fully loaded down with everything.

Frankly, 10 doesn't look compelling enough to do it for.  The only reason I
even have 8.1 on my laptop is because it came with it.

They also allow for the entry of a PIN when not connected to the internet.  For corporate users, the login can be connected to a domain server.
