I too just a short time ago upgraded to Win 10. I didn't have any progs
disappear on me. They are all still there just Win 10 doesn't show them.
You have to go hunt for them as I did on a few progs. Then I just created
new shortcuts. I did run into about 4 progs I had to upgrade, for them to
run in Win 10 though. So far I haven't had too many SERIOUS problems. But
if things get much worse though I will be rolling back to Win 7. By the way
Win 7 has about 4 more years to it before all support ends. Since it was a
free upgrade at the time I went for it earlier then I usually do. Normally
I wait till support totally ends. Which in most cases the new OS in this
case Win 10 would be mature enough to upgrade to. At this time I might
recommend to upgrade to it if you can get it free, otherwise I would wait
unless you are an early adopter as I am.
