Makes me excited for when I can actually download it. OKAY, SO THAT MEANS THAT VOCALOID 2 WILL STILL WORK WITH WINDOWS 10, RIGHT?!

(And does that post mean that V4 doesn't work well on Windows 10? Because I'm getting V4 and Dex as soon as he comes out and I obviously want to be able to use him, and keep being able to use Sonika, and start to be able to use Avanna because I only have V2 but I bought Avanna when she was on sale knowing that I'd be getting V3 or V4 later.)

I'm about to install Windows 10 (currently on Windows 8.1) and I don't have the resources to create recovery media as like a fail-safe in case something goes wrong or doesn't work. (UNLESS ANYONE KNOWS HOW I MIGHT CREATE MY RECOVERY MEDIA ON MY EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE! It is a 3TB WD My Book. You need the software and password to interact with it though, and I think because of that HP Recovery Manager doesn't seem to recognize that it's plugged in at all, even when it's unlocked. IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW I WOULD DO THIS PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!)

Also does anyone have any idea if UTAU (ver0.2.76 I think) will work on Windows 10?

What about MMD (Ver.8.03_English I think), will that still work? (It heats up my computer SOOO much. It's gone into thermal shutdown many times because of MMD. I'm a bit concerned about it. I sure hope I'm not frying or damaging my circuits.)

And-, and what about literally every single other program I have?! I swear, if they don't work I am personally going to kill you, Windows 10! >:(

Also, because I use UTAU and so I need my locale set to Japanese for non-Unicode, does anyone know if Windows 10 will get mad at that and like install in just Japanese or make Cortana speak only in Japanese or anything else that would have significant negative consequences?!

Is Windows 10 even worth it for me to download with all these risks? ARE THESE EVEN RISKS? I DON'T KNOW, THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING! DX

I understand that the Vocaloid Wikia isn't really the best place for some of these questions, but I'm a bit nervous and I'm kinda freaking out because to me my laptop is like (to quote Gollum) "my precious." If something goes wrong with this I am going to be so mad!

'''IF ANYONE KNOWS ANYTHING THAT MIGHT HELP ME, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IMMEDIATELY, LIKE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE PLEASE!!! DX'''

(I'll probably post a reply to this once/if I install Windows 10 just to let other people know if stuff does or doesn't work.  In the meantime I'll probably try to find some reviews of Windows 10 and just hope that someone responds to this. XP ) v4 works fine on windows 10. Okay, thanks.

I'm really hoping V2 will be okay on there too.

I have a lot of programs I can honestly live without or just redownload if they'd still work and the data loss wouldn't be devastating. The main programs I NEED to have work and not loose anything for would be Vocaloid2, FL Studio 11, and UTAU. I can live without MMD, and I'm sure my computer would live better/have a longer life without it. (Or at least without me using it.) And of course I'd need all my music and pictures and videos and such. Obviously the more things that do get successfully transferred over the better. But I have everything backed up to my external hard drive, so I don't think I'd loose too much anyway.

I'm currently going through and deleting old things that are of no use to me any more to try to clean things up. I have decided that I am going to install Windows 10.

I do still want to create a recovery set for Windows 8.1 and I COULD STILL USE SOME HELP WITH THAT, IF ANYONE WOULD BE ABLE TO HELP ME. It's trying to tell me that I need to insert either a USB flash drive of at least 22GB, 6 DVDs, or 3 DVDDLs. (What even IS a DVDDL?) I might have one balnk DVD somewhere but I have no clue where and I know I don't have a flash drive that big but my external hard drive has PLENTY of space. It currently has about 2.7 Terrabytes of free space, and my computer itself has approximately 760.5 GB free. (I wish my iPhone had that much room! XD ) The problem is that HP Recovery Media Creator won't advance to the next step until it detects that one of those three things has been inserted, and it doesn't seem to detect my external hard drive at all. XP

I don't know. If I can't figure out how to create the recovery set on my external hard drive (or at least something that I already have available) then I may just hold off on installing Windows 10 until I can go out and get either a 24+ GB flash drive or a bunch of DVDs. XP
