Windows 10 Upgrade Woes

I upgraded to Windows 10 Pro from Windows 7 Pro. It turned all the title bars white with no way to change the color that I could find. I right clicked the desktop and went to settings/personalize, etc. Didn't work. I put it on the back burner. I had bigger problems than worrying about the colors.

I use Microsoft financial software to keep track of my checking account. Windows 10 is incompatible with it. For some reason it needs Windows Explorer 6, or it won't run. Windows 6 will not install under Windows 10 in a 64-bit environment. To make a long story short, the solution is to use virtualization software or upgrade the software. Since I couldn't even open the program to export my data, my solution was to uninstall Windows 10. My software works now. :) I'm going to have to find a replacement program, export my data into it and try Windows 10 again later.

If you're thinking about upgrading to Windows 10, be sure to check software compatibility first. It might not even work with Microsoft software.
