Interesting to see this Moose, I too do not want to do a clean install of
Win 10 on my relatively new Win 7 Desktop machine (hardware should handle
Win 10 as I had the choice of a 10 or 7 installed when I bought it). I have
attempted "in place" Windows installs in the past and never had any success.
Based on your experience I think I'll "hang in there" with this Win 7
desktop as long as I can - maybe until I am ready for new hardware.
What are the "must have" features of Win 10 that I don't have in Win 7 ?
How many Win 7 updates have there been ? Seems to me that the Windows
"geniuses" should be able to devise a way of getting from 7 to 10 directly.
When is the next major version of Windows expected ?
Rant over (for now) !
