Cliff - just a suggestion: You may be better off and get more useful responses to each of your questions 1 through 4 if you start 4 new threads, one for each of the questions with a condensed version of the question subject in the title.
That way, users who scan the list of thread titles can see easily it's something they're interested in and can give you their input - make sense?
Right now I'm afraid your 4 questions are buried in this one thread about "upgrade from win 8.1 home to win 10 Pro" and your questions may not get the attention you're hoping for.
EDIT - just fixed a typo.
Word Man. . . . ok, and thanks for the separate questions suggestion. I will try to get that done.. and am sure to get some better comments, and answers.. tks..
