    Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade  


    Hello dlfetters48, and welcome to Ten Forums. Effects of a repair install in-place upgrade :)

    Yes, you can use a Windows 10 DVD as well. When you open the DVD, you would just pick up at step 4C.

    A repair install is used to repair your current installation by basically doing an in-place upgrade using the same build so you don't lose anything during the process.

    step:4 To do a repair install of Windows 10 with an ISO file - Can I use a Windows 10 DVD that I burned?
    This tutorial will show you how to do a repair install of Windows 10 by performing an in-place upgrade without losing anything. ​Is this tutorial just for an upgrade? Or can I use this method to repair my Windows 10 Pro install, while keeping all of my installed programs? Thanks

    Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade  


    In earlier Windows versions and in Windows 10 version 1507 (all builds prior to version 1511 build 10586) when Users folder was relocated to another drive using Sysprep and an unattended answer file, repair and in-place upgrade installations required the process being reverted, the Users folder sysprepped back to C: drive. After repair or in-place upgrade installation it could then be relocated again to another drive.

    Windows 10 version 1511 build 10586 (so called November Update) changed this. You can now in-place upgrade from Windows 7 or 8.1 to Windows 10 even with relocated Users folder, subject to in-place upgrade media being Windows 10 version 1511 build 10586 or later.

    Any Windows 10 version and build since build 10586 can be repair installed and in-place upgraded without relocating Users folder back to C: drive. This also includes build and feature updates through Windows Update which can now be done with relocated Users.

    Short answer: Yes, repair and in-place upgrade will keep your Users folder on D: drive. No worries, no problems.
