The really mysterious part is how you'd not be aware of the well know phenomenon of doing a MS upgrade and thereby trashing your system.
Systems can get trashed no matter what OS is running, I wouldn't single out MS. Mind you, I've steered clear of Office 365, maybe it would be giving me grief just the same. But you'd think if there were widespread problems on pristine installs, it'd be fixed by now. It's been at least 3 years now I've run nothing but VMs here at home. With all hardware virtualized and no crappy driver to get in the way, I've yet to have to rebuild a single one of them (and that's including moving all VMs from one physical host to another--twice...and then changing the host OS in-between).
