Windows 10 Upgrade Question
-
If I currently have Windows 7 Professional installed with Secure Boot turned off in UEFI. Then I upgrade to Windows 10 Professional, does anyone know if I should then turn on Secure Boot to make all good with the Microsoft world, or will this break things? If I am installing Windows 7 Professional on a new computer for the Windows 10 Upgrade, do I have to install all the Windows Updates like I do before installing the Windows 8.1 Update on Windows 8? Or do I have to do the Windows 10 Upgrade to get my key and then wipe the computer, turn on Secure Boot in UEFI and then install Windows 10 cleanly on the computer?

You don't need to turn on secure boot at all. The only update that needs to be installed is Service Pack 1, I had 62 updates waiting when I did the upgrade and there was no problem.

Thanks for the reply Rod. Do you know if they recommend Secure Boot and that it isn't required if you're upgrading?

If you're upgrading it's not required. As far as does MS recommend using it, well yes they do, considering that all new machines must have it turned on and it is up to the manufacturer of the machine if they put the option into the BIOS to turn it off. *** Edit *** However if you turn it on after install/updating, if may or may not configure correctly.
