[dba-Tech] The final upgrade, from 7 to 10

[Jim Lawrence]

Thanks for that.

I have not used Windows 7 for ages (only use it for Photoshop and InDesign). The computer on which it is running is used almost exclusively by my wife. With that said I have no idea of how many updates are required but they may be a significant number.

The computer is now doing its third pass at adding updates...had to reboot but it seems to be alright. 

Wouldn't she be surprised when she comes home. ;-) ...pleasantly I hope...if the worse happens the system can always be set to dual-boot.

Hi Jim

Last week we installed a brand new HP ProBook with Windows 7. Even though preinstalled, it was without SP1 and 200+ updates. We started before Noon and left it for the night ... next morning it was ready.

So as long as your machine shows activity, I would let it run.

I am finally moving the last Windows 7 to Windows 10.

Windows 7 was tested via Microsoft and it was deemed that all the current hardware and applications are compatible. After that the the installation process was started. For some reason this box is taking a very long time to complete. It does have a lot of different pieces of software but the processing has been going on for almost 24 hours.

Unusual for a large Windows 7 professional rebuild?

I have been monitoring the progress and there is still a continuous flow of data and activity.

Any thoughts? Bail or continue?

Jim
