    Info Re: Up date service

    Mike, where are you finding that?

    https://www.xara.com/uk/designer-pro/:
    MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS


    • Microsoft® Windows® Vista® | 7 | 8 | 10
    • 64 bit
    • Intel® Celeron® or newer, or AMD® Sempron® or newer
    • 500MB of RAM
    • 300MB of available hard-disk space
    Xara's Pro+ equally should work for you.

    Regardless, always download the trial first.

    Mike, the important bit is here, https://www.magix.com/gb/support/cus...rvice/#c362445.

    You need to check if your Windows 7 is 64-bit or 32-bit.
    Check with this: https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/2172...%20or%2064-bit.
    Your strapline states "Windows 7 Home premium 64bit .".
    If 64-bit then your upgrade will be fine.

    Again, download the trial.

    you may well be aware win 7 is now out of service:

    win 10 is a good operating system but may take some getting used to after 7

    you were probably wise to avoid win 8

    these thing happen.. good luck with the upgrade when you do it... at least once you have upgraded to win10 you should not need to do it again.. microsoft are not step-changing the operating system any more, it stays win10
