I'll do my Win7 Pro laptop first.

Have Googled it, but as usual as many questions as answers.

Ideally, the update would retain all my files data and apps. Obviously
some apps may need updating too - but assume they'd tell me if this is
so,
if it doesn't happen by magic?

Ebay has plenty CDs etc for sale for a modest sum that promise to do
just this.

Why not use the Microsoft ISO/USB tool:

I use the USB stick route. It's simple to use. Although if you go down
the DVD route you'll need media burning software.

To my knowledge all Windows 7 apps will all work on Windows 10. I
haven't found one that hasn't (64bit).

I had a Samsung scanner that wouldn't. At all. I gave it away to someone
with Win 7.




Too late for you, but for anyone else with a similar problem try the
free version of VueScan on Win 10 which seems to cope with every scanner
ever invented. If you like it, the full version for about £50 is good.
(Just used this to re-use an old Dimage, but now I use it on my Canon
Lide and Brother "all in 1" too. Only one user interface to remember).

The free version of VueScan watermarks all its pages, doesn't it? ie.
it's of no intrinsic use except to get you to buy the full version.

I would be keen to try out VueScan more (it can work under Linux, and that
would allow me to ditch needing a VM to run my scanner SW). But that model
I find irritating.
