Does anyone use PAF (Personal Ancestral File) on Windows 10.

I do have Ancestral Quest but much prefer PAF for entering new information.

I have just loaded PAF on to W10 on my laptop.  It seems to be working fine for me, obviously only time will tell.

It does not look that way but If I was you I would definitely be making backups of your PAF files  ;D

Windows 10 is trying to take me over too >:(  If I simply disable automatic updates will it actually stop the thing installing or will it just install without me knowing.

We tried W 10 on my husbands pc and hated it  :'(

As I have said on a previous post, Windows 10 will attempt to install and subsequently update behind your back!
And will give feedback to Microsoft to suggest ways to assist you to enjoy Windows 10. :o
There are various programs that are supposed to prevent Windows 10 from installing, not tried any.
