    There could be some upgrade problems with OEM computers and their drivers. Those are most often complained about. Home built computers with off the shelf parts are easiest to upgrade.

    That is not only "one" missing file, it is the whole Win32 question.
    As I said before, Software without Documentation is USELESS. And MS knows that better than anybody else.

    EDIT: It is something similar to Hardware without Drivers, electronic waste.
    Documentation can almost always be obtained from the manufacturers web site. Or a Google search etc. IMHO, the software is hardly useless just because help doesn't work. From my experience, it's iffy finding your answer even when it does work? Anyway, I don't see the point of beating a dead horse so I'll bow out of this side conversation and let the thread go back on track..

    Manuals and help are mostly in .PDF format nowadays or just send you to internet site. I haven't used any in WinHelp32 format for years.

    Would I upgrade if it wasn't free? I'm in a bit of unique situation. I have a free MSDN subscription so I would get it free anyway. If I didn't have that I would have likely paid to upgrade at least one of my PC's. Maybe even both my laptop and desktop. If I found a good reputable deal on it.

    You have no ideia of what you are talking about.
    A PDF is not the same and is in no way substitute for Help File.
    There is no other Documentation than the one , very good, provided via Help32. That is all one needs nothing else, and W10 does not support WinHelp32 anylonger, so the just killed the SOftware this way.
    You are making false hoppes to people to find anything by means of Google or the Web Sites. Most of the cases you will find NOTHING.
    Games, for example Filght Simulators, that relly on Help are just unusable, then you need the information about Airports and Radios and so on that are on Help Files to Fly properly. Without those information you can Take off and nothing else, you will be lost in few minutes.

    Please tell us what is your relationship to MS, if you are employee or receive money from them.

    That's exactly what you did. When nobody agreed with your thinking and obviously they know more than you, you resorted to insults. Anybody could say that you are payed by Apple to spread inexact comments for instance, how would you feel ?

    I do not work for Microsoft. I do not receive any money from them. I am a Microsoft MVP which is an award given to an individual recognized by Microsoft for exceptional technical expertise and a talent for sharing knowledge ...
    If you look at my posts you will see that I tell it like it is. If they do something I don't like, I say so. And I praise what I do like about Windows 10. I'm not biased just because I'm an MVP. I've often thought I might lose my MVP over things I've criticized. And not just here. I've been very vocal on their private Yammer group.

    I don't know everything, but in this case I do know that you are exaggerating things way out of proportion.

    alphanumeric, there is no exaggeration.
    WinHelp32 is a crucial thing for Win32 Software. You can not break it appart, you are breaking all the Software together as a whole.
    But WinHelp32 is not the only problem, is only the top of the Iceberg.
