Part 3: Windows 10 Upgrade Project Risk Factors

From the list below, select the two most relevant/important issues to consider for this project and explain your reasoning. Then write a few paragraphs for each of your selected issues describing the associated risks and how they could be addressed.

· hardware

Although MS kept the system requirements the same for Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, and now Windows 10, that does not necessarily mean a smooth transition. Sometimes older hardware will lack correct drivers or compatibility for the new OS. This can cause slow load times and memory issues, or it can stop the computer from booting at all. This can usually be fixed by updating or rolling back driver for affected hardware.

· application compatibility

Most apps (and other programs, like games or utilities) that were created for earlier versions of Windows will work in the most recent version of Windows 10, but some older ones might run poorly or not at all. This can usually be fixed by running “Compatibility Troubleshooter”.
