Aww, man, don't tell me that, now I'm wondering if I should chance it with having to leave in a little over an hour. Ho, well, I'll do a backup, see how long that takes.

Went from 7 to 10 no problem at all. Running pretty smoothly on a roughly lower/mid-tier 2012 AMD laptop.
Well I installed an optional update in my current Win7 and after that the Win10 icon disappeared from the taskbar. And when I try to make it visible it says the icon is not active and it will appear once it becomes active. Son of a...
The upgrade keeps all your data and apps intact right? I'm going to do a backup regardless before I do my upgrade
I decided to use this link...and it worked flawlessly! Still looking around getting used to it but the download and install took over an hour. The download was pretty quick...but the install took awhile. I went from 7 to 10. Looks cool so far (but I refuse to allow myself to ever think it is better than Linux Mint no matter how good it really is!!!)!

upgrade was smooth. I then choose the reset option, it gave a warning there is no turning back to Win7), it has been on 99% resetting for a while now... hopefully all is okay.
looking forward to playing with it.

All of my data is still on the computer...so yeah...it keeps all of your data but you know the rule about backing up! Maybe I just got lucky?
Did you do a clean sweep of your system or just upgrade? I am thinking about doing a clean sweep but am worried about losing my Office 2013 applications.
I did an upgrade and all seems well. Wanted to do a clean sweep as well but passed on that at this time.
Same here. I used this to upgrade this morning. Took about an hour on a fairly old machine. Right now everything seems to be working okay but a little slower than before. I'll give it some time to 'break in' though.
Oh, Malwarebytes Anti-exploit doesn't seem to work.
EDIT: And just noticed my Homegroup isn't working

Fresh install will ask you for a license key, however, there is a link to skip it. I had to skip it twice during the whole installation process. When it finally all came up to the desktop, it reads as activated. Supposedly MS sees that you have already qualified for Win10 on this machine and will automatically activate it once its installed. How they know its the same pc? I dont know, I assume its a serial number recognition...
Nothing you put on the machine previously will be there. It wipe it all and starts over. If you have a copy of office, youll need to reinstall it.

first impressions after Win7 upgrade the reset install (clean install):
- MUCH faster than Win7.
- It still had my browsing history; started typing URL and edge filled out the remaining in the address bar. So it keeps some things Bos.
- Edge needs work. I am not able to right click on the taskbar icon and choose new window. The application needing IE, runs in full screen mode so options/settings are clickable/accessible.
- Also can not add another search engine in the settings of Edge... its default is Bing.. ick
- Multi-display was easy to setup.
- Did I mention fast.
- Chrome is really slick on this.
Did you encounter the same issue doing a clean install that Bos did? A license key request?
