    3 happy days on Win 10


    Three days ago I upgraded from 8.1 to 10. I just did the update in Windows update. Everything went smooth and everything worked after the update.

    My friend said that after I have upgraded I should do a clean install. I feel that since everything works, why do the clean install and have to reinstall all my apps. Has everyone else that upgraded did a clean install afterwords? Do you think I should do it or leave well enough alone?

    Welcome to the forum,

    If everything is working fine, I wouldn't bother with a clean install myself.

    Hello, oldspook. Welcome to the forum.

    Yes, so much like you stated > If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Personally I didn't clean install my upgrade from 8.1 and in fact, as an Insider didn't fresh install after an upgrade to the next build. I have one minor problem of a Taskbar on my 2nd monitor that doesn't want to auto-hide some of the time, but everything runs as smooth as silk.

    One thing I will suggest is to mirror your system in case you run into trouble, or at least create a daily restore point upon first boot.

    Again, welcome and good luck to you.

    Yup! Like the others said. If everything works perfectly then there ain't no need for a clean install. Just rejoice...

    Awesome, that you are loving Windows 10 till now.

    You do not need to do Clean Install. Also many users are facing Activation errors after Clean install.

    Just use it as it is.

    Thanks for the replies, I thought a clean install wasn't necessary. I wanted to have the opinions of people more experiences with win 10.
