    -also, only CURRENT products will be tested and updated for compatibility with Windows 10

    -so if you have an older program, you update to Windows 10 at YOUR risk of problems

    -you may get CS6 and earlier programs to install and run, or you may not (some do, some don't)

    An idea that MAY work to install and/or run old programs in Windows 10... works for some, not for others
