Windows 10 on SSD

Hi All,

Not sure if this has already been asked, but I'm waiting for my upgrade to my installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.

It's running on an SSD as opposed to a hard drive and due to space limitations of the SSD, all my libraries for docs, pictures, music etc are located and set up on a secondary standard hard drive.

My questions are . .

When the upgrade takes place, will I need to set up the library paths again, or will everything stay in place with upgrade?

Normally I find it's better to do a clean install of an OS rather than an upgrade. Is this still the case?

Can I chose when to upgrade? I'd rather download Win 10 and wait awhile before installing. Is this possible?

Many thanks for the help.

And the following for the Clean Install - https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1...n-install.html

Hi all,

Thanks for the welcome and the info. Much appreciated.

I've read through the links and am pretty confident I understand what to do when the time comes. It has thrown up another question though . . .

I would much rather do a clean install than upgrade, but am I right in thinking that I first need to upgrade and then do a clean install? I read on the Microsoft site that to do a clean install of Windows 10 I'll need a Windows 10 product key which I'd need to purchase?

Many thanks
