I wouldn't think there would be any problems in a machine that was upgraded to Windows 10 either. I haven't had any success upgrading windows 7 to 10 yet (dreaded 'something happened' error).

Hi Tim,

As already said, if you wait a while, the chances of Microsoft having already fixed most of the problems is much better. The laptop I tried to upgrade was pretty likely to succeed, I thought.
It had plenty of space and not much software installed.

Since I tried last weekend, Microsoft have also issued these instructions, so I'll be trying again this weekend.

Totalitout, Thanks for the other link!
