Windows 10: Upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10

Upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. The Installation went ok but when it got to the desktop my screen kept blipping or stalling out, my icons at the bottom of my screen and on the desktop kept disappearing and reappearing, my ICloud is giving me some weird message about how I don't have the privileges to access the folder...oh, and I cant click on an of my folders either...Anywhere between 5 min to 25 min is how long it takes for my computer to finally Stabilize itself and then everything works fine....It seems like it is taking longer to Stabilize...My computer is fairly new...I bought it in June of 2014...It is an HP Envy 23 All in One...Is there a fix for this...Please Help?

Upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 Pro

I would like to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro from Windows 8.1.

Should I upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 8.1 Pro first then upgrade to Windows 10 Pro?

or

Should I upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 then upgrade to Windows 10 Pro?

Pro's and Con's of each route?

Thanks

yes

 

For the blinking screen, do you have a Norton product installed? According to people's posts, some of their products can cause such problems. If I remember correctly, the solution was to remove and install the offending program again.

iCloud is an online cloud by Apple. Googling up on your problem, I found this thread iCloud and Windows 10 compatibility issue | Apple Support Communities, which also has info on the blinking screen thingy. Maybe these two problems are related?

When you say that you cannot click on any of your folders, then this is in iCloud, not somewhere in your user folder in Windows, meaning: It is not on your local hard disc, right?
