Windows 10: Win 10 upgrade dilemma

Hi,

I originally used the sysprep method (from eightforums) to move my user profile to a different drive (E: drive) in win 8.1. My dilemma is do I move my user profile back to the C: drive (win drive) before upgrading to win 10 ? or just upgrade as it would seem this is possible if I have understood correctly.
Can any one tell me the pros and cons of both methods to help me to decide what to do please?
Thanks.

:)

 

Win 10 upgrade now refuses to boot.

I appreciate the feedback but as described above, the device will not post, no boot option, no safe mode, etc.

None of this advice is applicable. The problem was resolved elsewhere.

Problem upgrading from Win 7 to Win 10 on my PC

Finished upgrading my laptop from Win 7 to Win 10. After a few issues over the past month, finally succes. I started to upgrade my PC from 7 to 10 and after going through trying for 12 hours, I ended up with 2 upgrade fails with the following: Failed Upgrade
and codes-C1900208 and WindowsUpdate_dt000. I hope that someone has some answers to this dilemma. Thanks.

 

I can't think of any benefits in relocating it back unless you wanted to do it anyway irrespective of the upgrade. If you want your user folders to remain on the E drive, to move them back, upgrade, then relocate them back again is a lot of effort for no gain (and there is always the risk of making a typo and having to repeat steps).

If you look at this thread Users Folder - Move Location in Windows 10 - Page 8 - Windows 10 Forums there are plenty of people that upgraded without relocating back first. (There are a lot of comments to trawl through but no-one had a problem, including me).

Similarly once on 10 you don't need to relocate back before doing an in-place upgrade or upgrading the release build.

You would have to relocate ProgramData directory back if you had moved it though - but that was only possible on Windows 7 and earlier anyway as far as I remember.
