From the given data, the following Table is calculated:

Upgrade to Windows 10 No change from Windows 7 No preferences Total
Secretary 0.20X0.55=0.11 0.20X0.17=0.034 0.20X0.28=0.056 0.20
Not a secretary 0.80X0.39=0.312 0.80X0.55=0.44 0.80X0.06=0.048 0.80
Total 0.422 0.474 0.104 1.00

P(Not a secretary/ Preference) = P(Not a secretary AND Preference)/ P(Preference)

                                           = 0.752/0.896

                                           = 0.839

So,

Answer is:
