Windows 10

Took a shot at the upgrade this morning, result: about 5 hours of lost time

I forgot that I installed a new SSD on my system, migrated Windows to the new one but left the old one on the system. This must have confused Win10 as it tried to engage the old SSD in the upgrade.

The draw of having two SSDs was too great; but now I pay the price.

Win 10 decided that I had a bad setup that needed to be recovered. But to get to system repair was turrible; because I didn't have a CD Rom drive, and had to try to create recovery media on USB on a dying laptop, and boot that.

Win 10 system repair just put it back in Win 7 on reboot. It must have known. "Oh we gave this a try, I guess we shall punt gracefully."

I am going to try to remove the old SSD before trying the upgrade again
