I actually had tried to do a bare metal install on my test laptop here in the
office and while it worked as expected, I was never able to get a sound driver
installed and working. I went back last week and let it upgrade the 8.1
install and all worked fine, including the sound stuff. Maybe a nod toward
upgrade as the better choice? I don’t know, but I also have always been of the
opinion that upgrades were a last resort.

Have done 6 in place upgrades to devices in our house, or other family members.
All have gone on without a single issue and was very simple really. A bit of
sitting around while it is doing the actual upgrade but the whole process seems
to be nothing to be scared of.

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.

still upgraded” events are happening.
