Dreadnought - don't know if I can do Mondays as I might not have a computer 
Just thought if you were to curb your worrying you would have another one (8)

Yes... did you download an iso and install it that way ?

Sorry to keep on but do you do a disk or system backup ?

Disk - it saves everything to an image file, and you can restore the image, or mount it it as a virtual drive to get at the bits you want if you need to instead.

Ok thanks - one final question ? does AMOEI work ok with SSD's ?

Oh yes!
And they do a Partition Assistant which upgrades an HDD to an SSD as well - I used it for mine, and it's excellent!

Brilliant thanks only I read some stuff where peeps had some problems with SSD's which was probably operator trouble

I did an 8.1 to 10 update in place, and a 7 to 10 via an iso image. Although, in the latter case I did an update rather than re-install. In both cases, both PCs worked fine after the upgrades; just a bit of tweaking necessary for cosmetic reasons.

Thanks Richard, I'm backing up using AMOEI and keeping several copies of the image in different places - also making physical copies of all my data to my server ( and you guessed it I'm backing up my server ) will post back soon

Wouldn't it be hilarious if the two of you were referring to each other.

If I upgrade from Win 7 to 10 will I need to reinstall all my software ( VS,SSMS et al ) ?
I'm thinking I can't avoid the shift forever so I'm going to bite the bullet this weekend.

No - a clean install is often preferred but I upgraded one laptop and everything seems to have worked (the printer needed to be uninstalled and reinstalled but minor stuff).
|
|
|
|
|
I'm seeing an upgrade now in Windows update so how can I do a clean install ?

Download ISO and burn to CD then run install from there - it gives you a "new install" option.
(Obviously back up all the stuff you need before that  )

I went from 8.1 to 10 and didn't have to reinstall a thing. But all my settings were set to default and the first windows 10 update(the big one) deleted CCleaner without my knowledge.
At my job I went from 7 to 10 and have so far noticed nothing missing or wrong. VS and SSMS work just fine.
But beware, that may not apply to your machine. I consider myself extremely lucky as I lost nothing with migrating to win 10. Every device had a successful upgrade - two computers and a cell phone.

Thank you I'm starting to feel slightly optimistic ( which is always a worry )
