OT- DO NOT upgrade from windows 7 to windows 10!
- Thread starter Extra Point

No such file on my system.
I was able to recreate my important files by getting the latest one I had copied to a thumb drive and updating them from memory.
Windows 10 runs a lot slower on my previous windows 7 machine. The windows 10 upgrade for windows 7 is pretty much half assed. My previous windows 8 machine didn't have any problems after updating to windows 10.
I "upgraded" from W7 to W10 and immediately found that it sucked. There was an option to undo the process. I did that and I am happy to be back at W7!
I wouldn't switch to any new operating system until it's been out for a year or two and I'm certain it's a winner, like Windows XP and Windows 7, or a bust, like Windows Vista and Windows 8. Windows 10 created a lot of positive buzz, but it has a lot of privacy issues Microsoft doesn't want you to know about so they can collect data on your computer browsing habits pretty much unfettered. Unless you know all the places to go to disable this capability (and there are a lot of them), you're pretty much "out there". I've seen the upgrade to Windows 10 go smoothly, and I've seen it completely disable a computer, where I've had to do a complete clean install to reload the Windows 7 system to make it functional again. Also, while I liked that the Windows 10 upgrade was free from Microsoft, I hated the aggressive tactics they used to force you to switch, with the constant pop-ups, and by arbitrarily downloading the new O/S, whether you wanted it or not, if you weren't careful.
I'll keep my Windows 7 until I know there is something out there that is markedly better. It still works great for me.

I tried to get the free upgrade from 7 to 10 and it's stuck on 'Starting to download'. I wanted to get it while its free. I googled the problem and it looks like a lot of people are having the same issue.
I plan to upgrade this week. It's been out for a long time and they've had time to fix the early release problems.
My wife upgraded months ago on her laptop without thinking and it's running just fine. I needed to upgrade my
backup software to a compatible version which I did 2 months ago. So I'm good to go after I take a full backup.

You are spied on by everything you use and have been since the beginning. They just admit it now.
Restart in SafeMode. Revert/system restore to a date prior to your attempted upgrade.
I have it working okay now. There is an option under update and security that says "Go back to windows 7 this option is only available for a month after you upgrade to windows 10". I think I will keep W10 because I don't trust this Go back to W7 option, lol.
