I’ve literally had more problems with this OS in 3 days then 2 years on Vista.

Ultimately what seems to have happened is in the course of the upgrade, Windows decided to corrupt my original profile. As such my profile was deemed temporary and as such I couldn’t make any changes to the machine. I ended up having to create another admin account. Then restart the machine and then sign into the original account.
A side affect of a temporary profile is all of your files are missing. The resultant brick shitting was epic.

Yeah I don’t do upgrades. Windows always sucks with “upgrades”. Full format and reinstall, always.

I normally do that each time, I was told this was going to be fine.

It’s probably my fault for the upgrade install.

Mine has been flawless. Have you tried google? Not being snarky, it could be a small issue.

The issue was solved, after some brick shitting. Basically my profile was screwed in the upgrade.

unfortunately you are required to upgrade in place to 10 before you can set up the media for a full wipe/install.

Meh I didn’t follow that route :)
I was told I could upgrade for a couple of weeks, then I downaloded an iso and just installed it.

I finally decided to surrender one of my laptops to Windows 10, but the free upgrade crashed, twice, and I had to re-image the machine, twice. So I’ll stay with Windows 7 until they do the XP End-Of-Life thing, hopefully not for another ten years.

My coworker convinced me that I should upgrade and that it’s flawless in the upgrade process. I wasn’t so lucky. I think the only sure fire method is a clean install like normal.

True to its name, Windows 10 has been very binary. People either have no problems or nothing but problems. The trouble seems to originate from the upgrade process. If Windows 10 came pre-installed on a new computer, then it works fine. If not, then its going to be trouble.

I figured that was bound to be the case after the upgrade completed and all my documents were missing.

Don’t you have to do the upgrade for Windows 10 to activate it’s hardware key thing?
I tried to do a clean install but it wouldn’t activate, had to go back to 7, download and upgrade through the Windows Media Creation Tool, then do a clean install and it activated fine.

I’ve done 3 upgrades and they’ve all worked fine. To be fair though, two of the upgrades got wiped for clean installs because I’m paranoid.

No idea. I did the upgrade. I assume by registering my windows 7 key when that was installed, I was provided a 10 key that was verified as part of the process.
