testing windows 10 on my wifes Dell 8700 desktop
I have a situation that I need some help with. My wife has a Dell xps8700 desktop computer with windows 7 professional. She has some special software on this machine which is working on windows 7 at present, it's some data entry software that is no longer made or supported but I have it running for her because she does some fund raising data entry for some people now and them, it's really really important that this software operate properly as others need her to be able to do this work for them. That's just background info, she was using windows xp but I was able to get her software running on her new windows 7 computer.
So - here's my question:
I want to clone her SSD C drive to a new SSD drive, same size and then install the Windows 10 update to the new drive. If all goes well then we'd be up and running on Windows 10 and we'd be happy folks. But - if for some reason I cannot get her software running properly on Win10, we'll need to drop back to her original Windows 7 SSD C drive. Will we be able to do that or does it get unregistered because of the clone and install of windows 10.
I cannot even attempt this operation if in any way I cannot revert to windows 7 as she'd kill me, and others would help her.
Thanks in advance for any help.
