Windows 10 ... Not even once

I think you have to clean install unless you've got an Acronis or something

This is a normal post Dunno what people's issue is with Win 10
Objectively it's faster and easier to use than 7 and it works perfectly on all 5 devices I have it on, ranging from a shitty i5 laptop with a teensy 4gb of ram, up to my AMD 9350 32Gb gaming rig with multiple grpahics cards. I had a couple of crashes until manufacturers had fixed their graphics drivers (in the first week or two) and since then 100% stability.

This is a normal post It is faster, yes.
It has some genuine drawbacks I've noticed...

Using the Win+Arrow shortcuts to move windows around has a habit of randomly not working after a while. Fix = restart.

Zombie processes seem to infest it. Force killing such processes via taskmgr doesn't work like it used to, and using taskkill /f might claim success but the process stays there and doesn't release file handles.

Alt-Tabbing between fullscreen applications results in black screens or crashed applications more often.

This is a normal post Quickbooks can't print
I have history as a Windows sysadmin so I like to think I'm not some meathead who can't reinstall a driver. After two hours I couldn't bear it any more and rolled back. Not worth the hassle.

There are two distinct places to administrate printers and one of them apparently requires TYPING IN A SEARCH BOX. They've learned nothing from Vista.

This is a normal post Download an ISO from MS, get your product key
And then write the ISO to a formatted, bootable USB key. Thats your only option back if you've passed the 30 days.

This is a normal post still got the orignal disk and key
so could use that but was hoping for something less painfull than a clean install.
Its just that win7 runs better on that particular machine

Could i put a new ssd drive in, disconect the win10 drive
install 7 ultimate then re connect the win10 drive and move what i want from that?

This is a normal post If you do this
and it all goes horribly wrong, you may have to make sure that the new windows drive is still assigned the same drive letter as it had when you installed it. But it should work. I have also done it without removing the initial drive.
