Hi,

the pg_upgrade page states that --link uses junction points on windows :

"--link
use hard links instead of copying files to the new cluster (use junction points on Windows)"

I believe this is not correct. It uses hard links. Junction points are soft links to directories, and would not allow the user to remove the old-datadir after a successfull upgrade.

Out of safety I ran an upgrade without --link because of this, so I think that clarifying this in the documentation could help some users.

Regards
