Well, I can now answer my own question - I HAD to upgrade, so sick of not being able to keep my NVIDIA drivers up to date, since PD9 isn't compatible with them. And now, because of Cyberlink's maddening way of not allowing two versions of PD to be on a computer (the PD11 installer automatically uninstalls PD9) - I'm stuck with projects that DON'T work properly in PD11. They open, and most things work, but PiP Objects don't because the locations of the source material are different, and masks don't work for some reason -- lots of re-doing in my future in looks like.

I'll post questions in the PD11 Forum where users of this current version may be able to help.

---not a totally happy camper.

What you need to keep in mind: before installing, check, is you PC hardware etc suitable for PD11! PowerDirector 17. Windows 10
Processor: Intel Core i7-4770 (8M Cache, up to 3.90 GHz); Hard Disk: SSD 250Gb + SSD 500GB.

Yes, Andres - Thanks for the reply, but my computer is completely suitable for PD11. The program works beautifully, but the location of PiP elements has now been installed in a different location. Old projects using any of those elements have a broken path to the images. See? That's the issue.
