I downloaded it to my husband's laptop last week, after I discussed with our techie person if I should or not. No problems after the initial long time to download, except for a problem with start up that I googled on my phone and fixed right away. I haven't put it on my laptop yet as it's in the shop for warranty work.

No the free is for a full version and no later fees. Like I said, I signed up for the free version but will wait to actually install it. You do need to make sure you have the latest updates for 7 and 8.1, it will not work on xp. You can go to Microsoft and they'll scan your pc to check for potential issues with your system. You have one year to install it. We won't install it at work until all of our software companies have their systems compatible. no matter how good 10 may or may not be if it isn't compatible with what you use for business or pleasure it does no good. I'd check with Viking first to see if they've made 5D or 6D compatible yet. And go to Microsoft's web site and let them check your system. It only takes a few minutes and may avoid potential problems.

I upgraded my Win 8 laptop and then downloaded Classic Shell to make it run more like Win 7. I was running Win 8.1 under Classic Shell also. Other than a very slow process (5 hours), I haven't had any problems. BUT on my main computer running Win 7, I'm going to wait until October. I read that there will be a large update then and some computer experts are recommending holding off until the major update is done. In the meantime I have to put up with the VERY ANNOYING Win 10 notification popup screen. I wish I could disable it.

As I reported in my previous post, I downloaded Windows 10 and also have not been happy
with it. I contacted my Son, (who is a software engineer) and asked if I could go back and he
gave me this link, so I am going to do it.

Hope this helps.
