Thanks for the info and setting me straight...that's a departure from MS past. Glad they gave the customer a break and let them do a clean install (albeit involving having to download a DVD image after you upgrade).

My only experience with Windows 10 is disabling and removing the nuisance "Free update to Windows 10" alert in Win 7 (although you've got to be on your toes, because they try to sneak it in the Win 7 Updates, even though it's previously been hidden).
