One of many reasons that Windows users are often unwilling to move to a newer version of the operating system is application compatibility. But Microsoft’s contention is this may not be as big a problem as many users fear, at least when it comes from moving from Windows 7 to Windows 10.
In an attempt to quell app-compat fears, Microsoft announced in September 2018 a new program called Desktop App Assure. In unveiling this program at Ignite last year, Microsoft officials said that based on customer and Windows Insider information, 99 percent of existing Windows 7 apps were compatible with new Windows 10 updates, and they were willing to back that claim with this new program.
