I didn't do any stinking reformatting. I just said upgrade the darn thing... 10 did all the work.
Yes, but what would you do if you ever had to rebuild it?
Now you no longer have the media to do it with.
The thought of upgrading to Win 10 is depressing ... since my Win 7 works perfectly, and I'm very familiar with it.

xp forever.....
loosing $15k worth of installed software just ain't an option I wanna think about.
Buy a new $50 hard drive. Install Windows 10. Install all your important software. Celebrate with a beer.
If it doesn't work, put the old hard drive back in...
FYI: Hard drives are the most common things to fail in computers.
