Hi
When I updated to Windows 10 final, I did it from a clean install of Windows 8 and it worked really well, just like a fresh install of 10.
I'm betting that you will find the same, not having a lot of clutter seems to help a lot.
And your software will be happier when it's installed in the OS it's going to run in.
Good Luck!
Mike
I suppose when you named yourself UKWildcatfan that is a sports team of some sort, but I have a real wildcat. LOL
It took over a year to get her tame enough so I could pet her, now she actually is friends with our dog.
Her name is Xena the warrior princess, and she sleeps in the house at night.
