I get anoter nag box click not really paying attention and bang off it goes to upgrade to 10 leaving me wonder is it going to end in tears...:confused:

It's not a problem! You have a recent full disk image backup, don't you? :laugh:
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

That's the problem, I took one when I clicked upgrade a few weeks ago! but I was intending on running another before the upgrade. Having said that It has just finished forgive typing I am having to type this sitting a mile from my screen, oh Red lets have a look!

This nearly happened to me too last week. Any loss of files/programs? Did it do an upgrade or a clean(total) install?

I am using the machine now! I can't see its eaten anything, Visual Studio has moved sort of 2008 is in the M bit & 2013 is in the V bit. It also looks like the DOS (or command) prompt is back (or easier to find). The worst bit is I now Edge has replaced IE I will have to try to get my bookmarks back (I think I will carry on with Firefox!) so far so good :thumbsup:

Exactly the same boat (except that I was on W7.1). I too was caught out by the immediate install - I was even prepared by having another disc in the PC to do a final W7 backup onto. However, it looks like everything is OK so I'm creating a new backup with the W10 before I break it - that is still in progress. To my surprise, the new OS looks very acceptable and the learning curve is not as great as I had feared. I was more than 1/2 expecting to have to do a clean install as W10 had failed to auto-update when it first came out. I had the usual helpful error code and was not convinced by the results of researching on the web which said to be patient and you will get a notification later telling you that it can now update. But my cynicism was unfounded.

I have to agree, the update is/was smooth and faster than I was expecting but I really dislike having to find everything again. It seems to have kept of updated everything, the odd thing is I can now restore to Win 7 when this PC came with 8 Installed! :omg:
