Start 8 and forced upgrade to windows 10

from Stardock Forums

Ok here's the story less than a year ago I bought start 8 then there was a forced upgrade to windows 10

NOW I can't use start 8 anymore because it's not compatible with windows 10

WHY is there not an update for windows 10 users, so they can use the software they bought??

I got about 4 months use from it!!!!

I feel like I was ripped off!

I'm NOT a happy camper!!!

 

please help

Sorry Microsoft made your life worse.

However, we can help.

Go to https://www.stardock.com/products/start10/download.asp and scroll to the bottom.  There is a form where you can purchase Start10 at a discount.

Start8 was designed for Windows 8, but we have Start10 which is designed for Windows 10 and if you own Start8 then you can upgrade to it for a discount.

Unfortunately development costs money and while Microsoft may be offering Windows 10 for free, we do not receive anything from Microsoft to cover our development costs so the upgrade had to be at a cost.  Start8 continues to work on the operating system it was designed for.
