[QUOTE="endeavor, post: 565492, member: 5796"] Well you should be worried, unless you create what I said in the Backup & Restore spoiler, because your next major update will totally remove WinMail again, and certainly all of your current settings and any message store you have! Deleted - Gone! So go back and read up on what I said in my last message what to do. Actually, if I had your old HD in my hands (I don't care if the hard drive went bad but as long as it was still spinning) I could extract your 10 year old WM Message Store Folder, and place it properly into your new Win10, and when you opened WinMail you would see exactly what you had before your HD went bad - which you are suppose to create a WinMail backup of it BEFORE your HD breaks though, and so that's on you. I laboriously explain how to do all that, and it's waaaay best to do it Before things break of course. You just need to go back and absorb all the spoiler notes, yes boring maybe, until you realize the wealth of information there that pertains everything WinMail, that gives you complete forward/backward control of your WinMail client. If I said anything else I would just repeating myself every post, so the rest is up to you with what you want to go back and read and learn with it; don't be forced to learn the information the hard way after it breaks with frustration of lost mail data. Yes as you say Windows 10 basically is the same familiar (sort of) under the hood as its predecessors. The new flavors of Win10 is almost like a key logger though capturing all your information, unless you learn how to turn it all off, but once you do, it's fine. I only support WinMail in this thread though <g> There are easy ways to tame it, get it to look similar how it was, and to turn off Windows Updates with Wu10Man or WUB, or use a program to make it work like it use to so that you are in control of WU like Windows Update MiniTool, or [U][URL='https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/8013-enable-disable-windows-update-automatic-updates-windows-10-a.html#option7'][U]WAU Manager[/U][/URL][/U] which I believe our forums administrator (Brink) uses Option 7.
