You could uninstall applications and reinstall them later, if that's an available & better option.

Sorry, but I don't think thats correct. I installed Win 10 on a separate drive a month or so ago on a separate HD. Still have it on a 60 GB HD I'm not using. Thinking of giving the HD to her.
Was actually thinking of just taking the HD over to her place, sticking it in her machine, booting to see what happens. I'm sure there will be driver issues but the Win 10 install might work. If not then I'd just repartition, reformat and reinstall Win 10 on her machine. Then install apps.
So you don't think that will work on her machine? Which brings up another question. I seem to remember there is an answer for this but I've forgotten. Can't she just dual boot Win 7 and Win 10? Keep the Adobe Suite on Win 7 and just play with Win 10?
