asked on

should I do an image backup of computer before upgrade from win 7 pro to win 10 pro?

Upgrading a bunch of win 7 pro machines to win 10 pro.  I was wondering if there is anything I can do prior to upgrading in the even that the install crashes.  Would a system restore point help in that situation or would I need to find an image backup software for the best solution?

Or, am I worrying too much about it and all will be fine?

I'm on the final leg of the same.

We opted to clone and replace the drives with new ones, then upgrade from there

Either way, don't forget to backup user files, though you can use the docks to connect the old drives externally to grab what you need as well
