[QUOTE="Marko :), post: 1108865, member: 39702"] Microsoft does recommend doing a clean installation whenever new major version comes out as this 100% eliminates possible problems. However, if you have any issues after updating Windows through WU, you can always use an option to reset Windows while keeping data and apps. This will do a clean installation, but it won't touch any of your files or programs installed and it's recommended to do once in a while. Correct! Microsoft publishes the list of bugs and what caused them on their website. Spoiler alert; it's mostly incompatibility with some software. If Windows Update sees that you have incompatible software installed, the update will be blocked and it won't be offered to you until it's proven to be safe to install. This is also the reason why some people get the update immediately, and some after a month or so. Now... what people often do is override that "ban", by downloading the latest ISO from Microsoft's website and upgrading the Windows that way. By doing this, you're essentially skipping that check for incompatible software and risking numerous bugs or even crashes. Microsoft put safeguards to prevent issues; people will do anything to bypass same measures so they can complain. [/QUOTE]
