This is a very good suggestion. There are some members who are upgrading a Win7 or Win8.1 box, the results are mixed.
Now that the content for Win10 has been set, MS will focus on the other issues (GUIs, installs, updates, etc).
I think it's a worthwhile exercise for anyone willing to set up a Win7 or Win8.1 test bed and go through the process of upgrading that base to Win10. I'm not one of the willing however - too many other tracks, too few test beds.
The Slow ring release controls when the ISO is made available. Sometimes, the Fast ring has a higher release and the 'current' ISO never goes up. This happened with 10.061 & 10.074, there never was a 10.061 ISO. As we get closer to Current Branch release, expect things to start moving even faster. I think the most stable-to-date release ISO will be available. If they offer a link to the ESD, that would be ok for techies.
I had a matrix on the upgrade options, most include an ISO and Windows Update. I can't locate the reference for citation.
Bottom line - it is a very good idea to test all aspects of a release before it goes public.
