Is Logitech Media Server running clean on Windows 10?

Hi Mapman,

I can’t answer your question, but regardless of what the answer may be I personally would not want to upgrade to 10 without first using a good drive imaging program (I use Terabyte Unlimited’s "Image for Windows") to create an image file of my complete "c" drive or partition, that I could restore if need be. And also separately backing up any data files created or modified while 10 is in use, so they could be written into the restored image if need be.

As you probably realize, if one does the free upgrade to 10 there is a 30 day period in which the OS can supposedly be reverted to the one that was upgraded (7 or 8.1), but I wouldn’t feel comfortable relying on that. For example, in this Microsoft document I note a statement that "if you go back to Windows 8.1, some apps that came with Windows, like Mail and People, might not work anymore. To fix them, reinstall them from the Store."

Another point worth noting: According to this article, Microsoft has confirmed that early in 2016 Windows 10 will be classified as a "recommended update" for computers running W7 and W8/8.1. Which means that the default Windows Update settings would then cause W10 to automatically install.

Also note in one of the comments to the article someone reporting that on his machine reverting back to W7 simply did not work.

I’m a firm believer in using a good disk imaging program, for the additional reason that it would be a huge time-saver in the event of drive failure or corruption. And regarding your initial question it would of course allow you to easily revert to the previous OS if you were to find that LMS has issues running in W10.
