Start 11 Upgrade for Start 10 Customers

Hi. I have purchased Start10 some time ago, if i take up the offer of a Start 11 upgrade, will Start 10 still be useable, and activate normally on my Computers that still use Windows 10.

 

So to recap, can i still use and activate Start 10 on Windows 10 machines

 

I Pay £3.99 for start 11, will i still be able to use and activate both programs

Hello,

On your Windows 10 PC you can use either Start 10 or Start11 both will work 

but only one at a time , both options if you upgraded will be available in your account

OK thanks as now i can buy the upgrade, one other question if you do not mind. If Start 11 can be used on both machines , one running Win 10 and another Running Win 11, will the Start11 look the same as it does now on a Windows 10 machine now, or will Start11 look the same on both machines.

 

I would not want my windows 10 Start menu to look like the windows 11 Start11 upgrade, hope that makes sense. Now to find the Windowblinds information connected to Windows 11, i have installed the latest Windowblinds on my Windows 11 machine , but it does not work well and keeps crashing. Please tell me Stardock, has similar plans for Windows 11, as i will go crazy if i can not have the look and feel of my favourite skin on Windows 11.

Thanks a lot for the reply. Since XP i have been using the same windowblinds master skin and wanted to make sure it will all look the same regardless of what windows is underneath it. I will buy Start11.

 

Do you know if the new windowblinds (To work in Windows 11) will be a free upgrade, like previous windowblinds, or will it be a new product line Start11, so to recap, will i have to pay 2 new prices for Windowblinds 11 and Start11, many thanks for your help.

Whilst nothing is decided currently, in the past major updates to WB have always been paid upgrades.

Major updates are rare and WB10 has been out since 2016 so I would say an upgrade fee isn't unreasonable in this case.

OK i have purchased Start11, as promised, so Windowblinds 11 will probably be a paid upgrade, will windowblinds 10 customers get a discount similar to Start10 customers, sorry for so many questions but Windowblinds and Start has been an integral part of my Computing needs since XP was around, i can not look at the same desktop day in and day out
