Does an upgrade to Windows 10 preserve registry settings

0

Our software is relying on Java's built in presistent Preferences, which stores all settings in the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs

Should these registry keys be preserved when a user upgrades from Windows 7 to Windows 10?

Or is it to be expected that these keys will disappear and local preferences will be lost?

Depends what upgrade option you choose. "Preserve programs and settings" preserves programs and settings (including registry entries). – qasdfdsaq – 2015-09-03T15:21:48.800

It did on my machine. (And, yes, you must use the "Preserve programs and settings" option.)
