Photo Gallery and Windows 10

Have any users - who use Photo Gallery (part of Windows Essentials 2012), preferably on Win 7 - upgraded to Win 10?    Have you checked out whether Photo Gallery, including all the tags you've attached to your media, continues to operate seamlessly on your machine after the Win 10 Upgrade.   Any problems at all?

How about Movie Maker?   I note Microsoft provides contradictory information about compatibility of Movie Maker and Window 10 - see the following:

  1. They are NOT compatible according to:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows-10/movie-maker-is-not-available-in-windows-10

2) They ARE compatible according to:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/CompatCenter/ProductDetailsViewer?Name=Movie%20Maker&vendor=Microsoft&Locale=1033%2C2057%2C3081%2C4105%2C16393&ModelOrVersion=16&BreadCrumbPath=movie%20maker%20version%2016&LastSearchTerm=movie%2Bmaker%2Bversion%2B16&Type=Software&tempOsid=Windows%2010

What can a user do but ask other for their real world experience!

    I have been using photo gallery for at least 6 years on windows 7 and never had a problem with it until i upgraded to windows 10 and it quit letting me import pictures.  Did troubleshooting and it said my photo gallery was incompatible with windows 10.  How can that happen, when it's THEIR program.  Is there any way to fix it?  Upgrade it?  Or what?

    Microsoft compatibility centre says it is compatible.  But it says that about moviemaker, and other MS info says Moviemaker is not compatible.  See the first post.

    What troubleshooting exactly did you do?

    I went to control panel >all control panel items > troubleshooting.  Run programs made for previous versions of windows.  Program compatibility troubleshooter.  Issues found  Incompatible Program    detected , then Fix program windows Live Photo Gallery   completed     then Issues found  Windows Live Photo Gallery is incompatible   detected

    Fix program Windows Live Photo Gallery     completed  Provides steps to fix the incompatible program   Compatibility Mode   Compatibility modes applied:  Windows 7   User verification:  Fix didn't work
