Windows 10: NO risk if i upgrade?

Hello.



I am still running Windows 7. Because i use lots of "apps" i need as a handicapped dude. I found a way to export the Speech Recog Engine. Will ALL my saved stuff work? Antivirus? Software? Drivers? Just boot afterwards and business as usual?

preparing to upgrade


You can try following this guide. I suggest either step 4 or step 7.

 

Video card or RAM need upgrading?

Memtest: no errors after 10 hrs.
I'm going to perform the Primetest, later on. Get back to you on that.
I'm going to take it step by step, guys. I need to find the problem with this current computer. I might have to upgrade some components, so that it is still runnable. As for the new one, yes....i will build on it later. I need to find something decent 'gaming experience', all suggestions appreciated. THanks.

 

Is there any risk when upgrading Windows 10 to Windows 10 Professional?

The upgrade is supposed to work

If you upgrade without backing up any data loss would be your fault. Even though the upgrade should work properly, I never do them. Any issues in your current OS will just be migrated to the new.

You may feel like your OS is good and clean but chances are you have something in there from the time you have been using. Perhaps even some malware. Who knows?

I suggest this:

• Perform a Full Backup
  
• Format Your Current System
  
• Install the New OS
  
• Restore Your Data from Backup
  

This will insure your data integrity should something fail during the upgrade. You can avoid the upgrade altogether and go down the longer road to get to a nice clean OS without issues and ALL your data.

You reduce the risk of something occurring that could be disastrous and rather than rolling the dice and hoping everything goes well you just go through a process to ensure that everything will go well. If something goes horribly wrong, who cares. You have your data. This is the no stress method IMO>
