I forced a laptop to upgrade, when it refused to find the update automatically. A few hours later, I was reinstalling Windows. I guess automatic update knew there'd be trouble.
I "forced" the upgrade on 7 systems so far (none got the update through Windows update, always reported the systems were "Up to date".) On all except one, the upgrade went flawlessly. On one laptop, after the upgrade, the wifi adapter would no longer see or connect to my router. I had to connect via ethernet and install a new driver for it.
The funny thing is, the laptop that had the problem was the only machine I own that came from the factory with Windows 10 already installed! The others had all been upgraded from Win 7 or 8.
Have you had any trouble with "digital entitlement"? After the update, two of my systems that were previous windows 7 "lost" their free windows 10 key. One I was able to re-enter the key from the label, and the system accepted it (windows is activated.) The other is still giving an error, probably going to have to call the mothership.
not applicable for this particular situation. This laptop came with Windows 10 already installed.
I was referring to any of the 7 systems you mentioned.
I was the one that mentioned updating 7 (8 now) systems and no, none of them had any issues with activation. They showed as activated before the upgrade as well as after.
