Hello:
My workstation has been working well since my cold boot problems were fixed a couple months ago, so now I want to upgrade it from Windows 8 Pro to Windows 10 Pro. I've done the download part already.
I plan to take an additional set of Macrium backups of my boot and application partitions.
The upgrade advisor has only flagged my Corsair monitoring software (software came with CPU water cooler), but everything is plugged into the motherboard and (I am fairly sure) I'm using the Asus monitoring and fanspeed tools. So I plan to uninstall the Corsair software before proceeding with the upgrade.
My laptop has been on Windows 10 since the first week it became available, and it has been working just fine. Here were the issues I dealt with back then:
1. Re-enable IE (I hated Edge)
2. Re-install Classic Shell with new version
3. Disable Windows automatic updating (yes, I have a "control thing")
The one I'm upgrading this week is an i7 workstation based on a 2012 Asus motherboard with 64 GB RAM, two GTX 980s, and some SSDs and a couple HDDs. Its main purpose (in the rare times when I'm not goofing off) is for graphic arts and DAW.
None of that software is specialized to the point where it should require any special handling, and of course the upgrade advisor hasn't flagged any of it. But can anybody think of any other issues that may have come up since Windows 10 was new last summer?
