Just do an in-place upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, it works fine, I’ve tried it.

1. Make a full backup (always a good thing to do) using a Macrium Reflect bootable flashdrive
2. Start Windows, perform all the necessary first steps
3. Check for updates several times, install all the updates
4. When prompted, upgrade to Windows 10
5. Uninstall the old OS switching app
6. Download and install the Windows 10 version of the OS switching app

And that’s it!

Am i just lucky or what but i just updated by using the update tool from microsoft.com and it works? Dual booting works also. I do not recommend it though. I have 64gb pro version.

Why do you not recommend it?

I also would like to update but  not sure I have the knowledge (yet) and it sounds like the easiest way to go.

O.Kela, Good to know that the previous version of the OS switching tool works in Windows 10. I didn’t want a possible inconvenience of getting stuck in a pre-boot environment so I followed the advice to install a newer version of the tool.

Stratis, The above means that the task of upgrading to Windows 10 has now become even easier. 🙂 Simply upgrade to Windows 10 when prompted by the Windows Update application after having installed all the necessary updates for Windows 8.1. (Please note that you may have to look for updates several times before you get the upgrade prompt.)
