I have Windows 8.1 and have the invitation for the free update, but after considerable research I decided not to take the update... I figure, if my PC works, then there's nothing to fix... if/when I buy another PC that already has 10 then I'll use it, otherwise, I don't like being a guinea pig for them... GZ

Also had to chkdsk all my partitions after the upgrade. all looks good so far. Currently I have 4 SSDs with individual installations for Win7--8.0--8.1--10 for my new build. I've also made Acronis Images of the new SSDs from another computer with Win7 Ultimate-64. Unexpectedly however when I connect the 8.0--8.1--10 SSDs to the Win7 Ultimate-64 machine, "chkdsk" begins at boot-up to scan these SSDs. This does not happen with the new Win7 SSD. "chkdsk" runs successfully and doesn't find any errors, but I don't understand why my Win7 computer is doing this for the SSDs with 8.0--8.1--10 installations. Did Windows make some change starting with 8.0? * * *
