[Q] Can I update Windows 8.1 into Windows 10?

[DesktopAppAd]

MI run my business at Windows 8.1 now for publishers and advertisers. But it is said Windows 10 would be published to the public at the end of July. So now, I do not know whether I can write my business by Windows 10 or not.

If I do not update, I only can support my Windows 8.1 users. But if I have to give up Windows 8.1 users, whereas I can get windows 10 users.
However, I do not there are how many users will switch into Windows 10. It means if windows 10 gets more users, I will update.

How can I know that?

Thanks all!

I think that windows 10 has backwards compatibility (If I understand you correctly, you are worried that your program wont run on w10)

Anyway, I have updated my device with Windows 10 Preview. I need to know how can I know whether I should write ad programming for my Windows 10 users. I am afraid there is only few ones using Windows 10.

You can update and run windows 10 without problem. Only downside is that, application compatibility since it wasnt official yet until july 29th.

yes, it is the problem. I have run Windows 10 Insider Preview. It is indeed beyond of my expectation. It runs slower than Windows 8.1 and the Store gets huge problem. It is unable to get access to some apps downloads. Unhappy....
