So, I plan on installing W10 with the installer provided by microsoft themselves called the "Media Creation Tool" (64Bit)
The first time I attempted to install it this morning. It was a relatively quick download and I thought I could upgrade but..
Instead of being faced with a choice of what to do. All I can choose is that my system would be made clean with the "Clean install".
Two more options are usually available! One of which keeps your data and the other keeps your data and programs.
Now, I am running a german version of Windows 7 and I am currently re-trying to download it once more but the download takes incredibly long this time, I am guessing that is due to it being the afternoon and Microsoft's servers being immensely busy.
Is there a way to keep my programs and data with my Windows 7 Home Premium (licensed and activated) 64 bit version?
I am aware a clean install from scratch would be otherwise better, but I am planning on buying a new computer next year and quite frankly cannot be bothered with fully resetting my current setup.
