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

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

Hi Changegraphics,
Missing CDR and missing CPT thumbnails in Windows Explorer have been a chronic problem for some of us for over ten years.
1. If you only want CDR thumbnails, buy Mystic Thumbs. It will create CDR thumbnails for you. It will also create Adobe PSD thumbnails since this specification is in the public domain.
2. If you want CPT thumbnails in Windows Explorer, then go yell at the vice president of graphics (Gerard) at Corel. He's the only one who can publish the CPT specifications so that Mystic Thumbs can create CPT thumbnails. So far, he has only said that he would have his staff look into the problem -- another empty promise.

Thanks Phill, David and Hugh. Much appreciated. GERALD GIVE US BACK OUR THUMBNAILS OR I WILL GIVE YOUR HOME PHONE NUMBER TO KUTTY JOE!
Another thing win10 has changed- I cant right click and copy/paste images. Instead of going to trace or content I use snip(itcomes with windows. Click on snip, your screen goes light and you drag the cross hair over the image. You can copy the selected image (right click) or save it to a folder. Bring on 10.1 :)

What version are you using? And copy from what program? I'm using Windows 10, and I can copy/paste images from internet to CorelDRAW (I use Google Chrome but I did a test with Edge and firefox and both works too)

from my personal point of view, if your current system is working fine and you upgrade to Windows 10, the system will work as same of previous, but if your current system has problem, when you upgrade you will inherit the problems. I've heard several people say they want change to Windows 10 to see if that solve their problems, and the result is usually negative. In such cases, it is better a clean install.
On the other side, there may be differences depending on which version you are using (32 bits / 64 bits / Windows 7 / Windows 8 / Windows 8.1, etc). I was using Windows 7 32 bits at home
