no experience with in place since on 3 of 3 I did for others they had been p0ned (one so bap her provider had shut her ‎down); and my own test machine that had so many apps installed and removed over the years I wanted a fresh start. The reinstall from scratch  experience has likewise been great. I do have a few more systems I plan to upgrade in place when I get a round tuit.

YMMV

Speaking of Win 10 upgrades…. I’ll preface this question by saying I am almost a luddite at home. If I didn’t have to feed my family, I would be a sailing instructor or lawnmower engine repair guy for a living….

 

How has it gone for all of you who have upgraded an existing build from say Win 7 Pro to Win 10 in place? I know this is the preferred/supported path per Microsoft, but I have NEVER been a fan of in-place upgrades… (GET OFF MY LAWN!)….

 

I’ve got several Win 7 Pro systems at home that I disabled the win 10 notifications, though I plan to upgrade them and was wondering just how much of a pain or success it has been. Yes, I know, Win 10 has 5,000 bazillion users now, but I’d like to hear from some fellow engineers….who have to be the Help Desk for their families….

 

Thanks!

I've successfully and happily upgraded my own systems to Windows 10 - but holy crap is this disgusting.  What a way to destroy any good will and trust.  As James pointed out, this is a great way to get people to completely disable updates again.

Given the folks on the list many of you may already know this but I just ran across this.  I’m guessing that’s exactly how all these “I told it no but it still upgraded” events are happening.
