    Install Win 10 as an update over 8.1?


    Just curious if their are any brave souls who actually updated 8.1 to 10? And if you did, what where your experiences like? No dual-boots, no drive swapping, no VM's or VHD's, a real live update.

    :)

    Corrupt install of Win 10 over existing Win 7"

    1. No messages just locked up screen for a minute then a black flash before regain operation.

    2. Windows Media Player

    3. An exercise CD

    4. In the SYSTEM32 directory I find 10-12 sql... files

    When I try the win key I also get the screen lock up, minute or more of lock up then black flash before access to screen.

    Just make sure you have imaged your C: drive "just in case"! Nice to have an escape route!

    For sure! I already had to restore 8.1 twice while attempting to get it and 10 to dual boot. Thanks for the tip!
