Hi Adrienne, My general recommendation is to not be in a rush to upgrade anything unless there is good reason. This is especially true of recently-released versions. I'm also going to try to stick with Windows 7 as long as I can - I don't think any of my business clients have upgraded to Windows 8 or 10. I'd also be careful about moving to the cloud. The main drawbacks are that you are totally dependent on a good internet connection, and that you are putting you data in the hands of a large, far-away corporation. Advantages are off-site access to your data (if you need it, though there are other ways of accomplishing that) and possible lower cost of hardware, infrastructure and maintenance (though you'd want to look carefully at the big picture regarding costs). I've been finding Office 365 in particular to be real flaky - often it won't accept my login and then an hour later, it does. I believe Microsoft Office 2010 is no longer sold separately by Microsoft but is available through third-parties or on some of the Microsoft subscriptions. If you are taking the old computers out of service, or don't need Office 2010 on them, you should be able to transfer the licenses. I agree with Doug and Jeff - Microsoft Acccess databases are not considered secure and an upgrade to SQL Server (or an open source client-server database such as MySQL or PostGreSQL) is what you need to be HIPAA-compliant. You'll be able to use the same front-end, but it will require some tweaks.
