That's an easy yes. When I can't lose an install like that I can backup the HDD image to somewhere. You should be doing this anyway.
So far my list of things that foul up the W10 upgrade is pretty short. Viral or other malware infections. A cracked OS. Some antivirus suites and hardware issues.
So I've learned to unplug USB printers and such along with ejecting CD/DVD emulators and the AV suites then I'm nearly 100 out of 100 successes. I have only used the media creation kit to recover a banged up W10. Didn't use it to do an upgrade on dozens of machines.
I am working on my wife's machine. She had XP. I have now installed windows 7, ran the update advisor (its fine) and proceeded to the "starting download" part of the upgrade to 10. It continues the 'starting' forever. Then I started rooting around. There is a LOT of stuff on this one!
Anyway, in my search I found one that looks as if it will work but thought I would ask if this is a good idea (not the upgrade the running of the program) The plan would be to download and run the Microsoft Media Creation Tool. The reason I am asking is because I really want to make sure this will work and not destroy any stuff on this machine that I just spent 2 days getting back on. I am doing this with a new drive and have saved the old xp drive (now drive d) so I don't lose anything. I also would like somebody to tell me that this program will work for this upgrade. I get antsy about this stuff and always wonder.
Thank you...............
