CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X7 Windows 10

Windows 10

Windows 10 free upgrade is due to download on 29 July. Is it safe to proceed or could there be any problems of compatibility? I use CDR X7, Designer X6, CorelCAD 2014

Personal opinion and past practice I would wait and see what happens, could be fine and could trash everything??? I never update the o/s on release day, I wait months. Unless you have a machine that is not critical to your work

Thanks Bob, good advice.
I was a bit concerned that having ticked 'free upgrade' it is going to be downloaded automatically like an update. Hopefully you can 'pick a time' to install but then it's like 1GB sitting on your desktop.

If you are going to upgrade, RENAME your files as 10 does not give you a thumb nail of the content in the file, just a PP or CD logo. So if you are like me and rely visually on the thumb nail - to check a file you have to open the software each time and that can take time. I tried different settings, sizes descriptions and yelling at it but to no avail, does anyone have an answer?I also lost CorelCad14(save your inteface), so if you loose anything download a free trial then wack in your code when you open the software (make sure you get the right year/version). But corel support is awesome if you have hassles.Oh yeah make sure you download from corel and not softonic, you will get a bug

I am running X5, X6-64 bit and X7-64 bit on Windows 10. I have thumbnails for all of my *.cdr, *.jpg, *.cpt, etc. files. I suggest that you un-install the Corel Graphics Shell Extension and then re-install it.
