Would appreciate tips and ideas to ease the transition from Windows 7 to Windows 10, especially concerning Thunderbird. Are the current user profiles and all mail carried over without any special efforts?

My understanding is windows makes a mess of Thunderbird and a backup of your profile is essential before you start so you can install Thunderbird and use your old profile.
