    Solved Check Laptop after Repair

    Many thanks for the advice. I'll probably go with a clean install. The laptop has two drives - an SSD as the system drive and a larger HDD. If the clean install is done on the system drive would I also have to format the HDD?

    Solved Upgrade Laptop to Windows 10

    Thanks georgeks. It is a Dell Studio 1555. I have the OS installed on a partition which is separate from my personal data. Will the upgrade process take that into account? I will back up all my data as a precaution anyway.
