I understand the discussion around installing Windows 10 properly. It’s about choosing the right method—whether to create new partitions or perform a clean install. Upgrading from Windows 7 can be useful if you want to keep your files and games intact, especially after a recent SSD upgrade. While a clean installation offers a fresh start, it may require losing existing data. The main benefits of upgrading include improved performance and newer features, but potential downsides involve compatibility issues or unexpected problems down the line. On the other hand, keeping your current setup allows you to retain everything you have while still benefiting from updates. It’s important to weigh these factors based on your specific needs.

I recently switched to Windows 10 on three machines and everything ran smoothly. The software for creating bootable USBs isn’t very reliable, though.

Upgrade now, but hold off until all matters are resolved.

Open the folder at "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download" and remove all its contents. Next, execute the command prompt with admin privileges and input "wuauclt.exe /updatenow". Finally, navigate to your Control Panel, select Windows Update, and watch as your systems begin downloading again from the beginning.
