    Win 10 boots...

    I can't answer to the speed of Win-8 booting. I tried the Win-8 preview and went back to Win-7 after a month. They say that Win-8.1 is a lot better than Win-8 was.
    My Win-10 TP is working well ATM.

    Thanks for the suggestion, I will do what you suggest once I get the Windows 10 OS to function again. I'll get a 2TB SSD as a replacement.

    Update a dual boot Win-7 and 8.1, to Win-10 only.

    Upgrade to Win 10 from dual boot win 7 / win xp

    Thank you, davem121. I have upgraded the mobo and processor several times so I think they will be OK for win 10 - though I will check as you suggest.

    I will also disconnect all except the sata win 7 drive as you suggest. Can I reconnect them later or will the presence of win xp (which I don't need) on one of them upset things? Do you think I could uninstall the win xp part of the dual boot before upgrading
    to win 10?

    Thanks again,

    Richard
