MikeyD Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Thanks for the info. I wouldn't even consider chancing the upgrade except in recent month's I've been wanting to take my Windows 7, drag it into the back yard, shoot it between the eyes and bury it in an unmarked grave. And its a toss-up whether it's going to kill me first! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massimoFGM Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Yesterday I upgraded to Windows 10 pro keeping my settings and apps, all Battlefront wear work like a charm (CMRT, CMFI & CMBN) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Bennett Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I have resisted upgrading OS ever since Vista which i had uploaded from XP. It was so bad I uninstalled it and went back to XP, I did finally relent when windows 7 professional came out which I have been fairly satisfied with. So i again resist upgrading to 10. THose of you that have it can you give a brief review please? How is it better? Do you like it? But only if you don't mind of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaman216 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Just to add another data point. Installed Win10 a couple days ago and no problems with any software on my machine. Including CMBN, CMFI, and CMRT. Smoothest windows update ever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveNoMore Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Hi All, Thought I'd add my experience. I use my computer for both business and personal. Needed to upgrade to Win 10 because the boss wanted to make sure all our software works in that environment. The computer is only a few months old. (Intel i7 -4790 CPU Quad 3.6GHz; 16 GB Ram; 64 Bit; AMD Radeon R9 200 and Intel HD Graphics 4600) The transition was smooth and easy. It looked like everything worked. I opened all three of my games (CMBN, CMFI, CMRT) which are up to date with everything. It looked great! Then today I found a really weird thing. In CMFI I could not load any of my scenarios. I could see the scenario list, but not the PBEM game move that dropbox said was in the folder. And CM Helper kept telling me it had a move waiting, but couldn't do anything with it. I tried everything I could think of, even uninstalled and reinstalled CMFI and all it's patches, etc. Still nothing. Then I tried running it in ADMINISTER mode. EVERYTHING WORKED! I also had to shut down CM Helper and reopen it in administer mode. Don't know if this was something that my computer configuration required, but if your having an issue opening things, try administer mode first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Bennett Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Do we know that Battlefront will even support CM on Windows 10? I'm not sure that should be taken for granted. Edited August 12, 2015 by J Bennett 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Yes, they have said that they do. Lots of people had success and a few have had problems but so far those problems have been resolved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derfel 2nd Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 Well Gentlebeings, I have taken the plunge, some hours ago I upgraded to Win 10, and I'm relieved to say that the 4 horsemen seems to have gone back to the paddock. Everything CM works just fine (ok, I haven't tried the scenario editor yet, but apart from that). Thank you for info and support, I hope those who choose to go down this path have an equally smooth ride. Peace be to you all, Derfel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Childress Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 With the goal of updating my Windows 7 installation I attempted to download Windows 10 last week. Mission failure. The result has been, apparently, to corrupt Windows Update forever. Buyer beware. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Williams Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 two days ago with no issues. My two ongoing CMBN PBEM games have continued without a hitch. I don't have any other PBEMs at the moment, but CMFI, CMRT, and CMBS all start up with no errors. I don't like the new web browser (Microsoft Edge), but Windows 10 also comes with IE 11 so I just use that. Overall, a very easy, hassle free upgrade that took about an hour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSj Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 With the goal of updating my Windows 7 installation I attempted to download Windows 10 last week. Mission failure. The result has been, apparently, to corrupt Windows Update forever. Buyer beware. If you have problems with Windows Update, try deleting all files in the following folder on your hard drive: C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download This will reset Windows Update, so when you run it again, it should redownload any waiting updates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Childress Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Thanks for the tip, JS. But the results are inconclusive. Windows 10, we hardly knew ye.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Bennett Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Thanks for the tip, JS. But the results are inconclusive. Windows 10, we hardly knew ye.... I don;t like it either. Upgraded from Windows 7 professional and Windows 10 looks very much like the XBOX1 i have for my kids. Rolled it back to Win 7 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holman Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Updated from 8.1 to 10 yesterday. No problems with CMx2 at all, except that I had to re-activate all of CMBN.One note, though: for a couple of hours after updating, Win 10 would only boot me into a Temporary Profile. Later (maybe the fourth or fifth reboot, and after running Windows update a few times) it finished the process and booted me to my real ID. Now all is well, and I'm liking the speed and layout of Win 10. (All that unfamiliar business with the start menu is fully tweakable.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
