[QUOTE="LAV, post: 745721, member: 1123"] The OS would have been installed as bootable, with the required boot partition info etc. For the OS to run an upgrade on this same drive, it should have booted from it. You cannot upgrade the OS if the drive is connected as an external via USB. If he is happy with performance, then stick with Win 7 for now. It is quite a change to 10 in terms of UI and where things are found - confusing even for IT boffs. What would be the reason for wanting to go from Win 7 to Win 10? I'm with Kamikazi here. Stick with Win 7. [/QUOTE]
