Sorry to bother ya all

I am not that good at computers like you guys are so please bear with my poor education.

I have my MWC installed on computer, computer is using Windows 10, which has ended , now computer is suggestion I update to Windows 10, version, 1903..

will version 1903 eliminate WMC ?

I have no problems with WMC working on my computer now, I just do not want to lose it for any stupid reason.... Can I update to version 1903 without losing WMC??

I have no problem letting things like they are either>>>>

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP...

Yes, major upgrades will remove WMC so unless you feel like starting from scratch with it, you would need to backup your WMC settings then uninstall it, let Windows do the update, reinstall WMC and restore your settings. The only problem it that it isn't always that straightforward.

I don't remember which version of WMC you have now but if it is old, then you should install the latest one and the same goes for EPG123.

The latest stable version of WMC is currently 8.8.5 but Gary is working on a different installation method for WMC and I'm not sure whether it is ready for prime-time yet.
