hi
i have read that microsoft will upgrade w10 and will jump to kernel v10 from 6.4

my big concern will be the program compatibility

i have bought several program and i use freeware

the point is that some program don't release lifetime updagrade/update

in short , when w10 will have the new kernel , there will be for sure issues with many antirvirus and several programs like for example sony vegas or adobe or other many software
about adobe they have the subscription and they release nightly built version , 2017 is so buggy
but many other program don't release free update ,in short to upgrade a program i have to pay

now with microsoft , what should i have to do?
pay for all my programs ,for their updates

what do you think ?
is there a preview insider built with kernerl 10? i don't know if there is a preview version to test it
with w10 , microsoft doesn't care about the software compatibility
thanks

Microsoft is letting software developers know ahead of time of a major change in the kernel version number for Windows 10, which will soon jump from the current 6.4 to 10.0. This change could affect older Windows applications running on the OS.

"Developers preparing for Windows 10 should note that the Windows NT value in the UA string will change from 6.4 to 10.0 with the new release. If you have code that depends on the version number, we advise that you update to allow for the new value."

if we are talking about freeware is not a problem , but about pay software they are not cheap
