Generally, yes. W10 is backward compatible with Win 7 or 8. if it runs on Win7 or 8, it should run on Win 10.

For games, some will, some will not, especially those that require a certain driver, normally those games that depend on Windows XP-era hardware device.

No problem. Even you upgrade from Pirated Windows 7 to Windows 10, your Windows 10 will become Windows 10 Trial.

Not quite. Here's an example of a Windows 7 game not compatible with Windows 10:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/3yj..._on_windows_10/
of course, that only applies to the STEAM version, not the GOG version.

Another game, where the remake sucks because the gameplay has completely changed is:
Homeworld Remastered (7, 8, 10) vs. Homeworld Classic (runs on XP):
Fleet formation does not hold - which is critical in a fleet strategy game - resulting in a broken or useless game. Many people have complained ...

That's why I used the term "generally" smile.gif

Steam has DRM, that's where it's not good and causing problems. GOG is DRM-free.

Take it as "Pre-cracked" then. smile.gif

Pre-Cracked means during Windows installations they have patched the CD-Key to auto-validate without pass thru internet.

During upgrade to Windows 10 KMS server will perform DEEP SCAN through your Windows CD-Key to Validate. (So yeah they can bust your using Legit CD-Keys or not.)

If Validate Success : You will get extra Windows 10 Key for future format and re-install windows, Windows will automatically activate for you through internet.

If validate Fails : You will get Windows Trial key for 30 days until a legit license key installed. Meanwhile? yeah watermarks over your desktop like usual.

Side note: Windows 10 are now using Force Windows update method, there are no buttons to disable or turn it off. You need to edit that in Command Prompt or Regedit Registry and Services.


Clean install perhaps?

last time I had issue installing few antivirus on a W10 new notebook. Perhaps because it's a fresh W10 install, not upgrade.
