Careful with the new Win 10 Anniversary upgrade. Worked good on my desktop. Totally automated.
Looked to be working well on my laptop but as it chugged along it then asked for the Win 10 product key but offered an option to skip it and put it in later. The Win 10 on that laptop was a free upgrade and it requires a 3rd party program, or some such, to see what the current assigned key is.
Anyway the darn thing left my laptop as if it had done a clean install - wiped out my user accounts and files. No way to restore the previous system.
No problem except for a lost hour (or two) as I had made an image backup and the restore went fine. Others are reporting this so maybe MS will fix it. Then again many are complaining about the new features of the Anniv Edition and its propensity to disable and/or hide old software apps it does not like (such as 3rd party menu/shell progs). My two systems mentioned here are Win 10 Pro 64.
