Adobe Acrobat X1 Pro OEM and Windows 10

I run Windows 10. Do all versions of Adobe Acrobat X1 Pro OEM work with this version of Windows.  If at some stage in the future I want to upgrade to Acrobat DC Pro or Standard can I then use the Upgrade pack to install and run Acrobat DC or would I need to buy the full software package.  Many thanks  Martin

I have a little note to be cautious. I'm assuming you've found a good deal with someone selling Acrobat XI OEM cheap. Here are some thoughts on that.

1. Adobe never made an OEM version to be sold separately.

2. Many companies specialising in OEM are just selling counterfeit software; the reference to OEM is just to make the prices seem plausible.

3. Counterfeit software often includes malware.

4. Counterfeit software often stops working as the manufacturer blocks a pirate route, and upgrading may fail (or the upgraded software may fail later).

5. It's big business, fake software. As a double bonus, they end up with your credit card details.

yes

depends when you upgrade.  with acrobat, upgrade pricing is usually available for version no more than 2 versions older.  eg, for acrobat dc you need acrobat x or acrobat xi.
