Folks, I upgraded three days ago with no problems.
1) MS asks your permission to install a FREE, no-obligation program that determines if you CAN upgrade to 8 Pro, and it even tells you which programs are incompatible.
2) I'm going to settle this question once and for all. I upgraded from the free Preview Edition, and I had not installed the Preview Edition on top of any other Windows OS. You CAN upgrade from your free Preview Edition, which keeps your current copy of Windows 7 legal.
3) It gets your credit card information.
4) It gives you a choice of how much of your stuff you want to keep.
5) After the one hour and fifteen minute download, it began a half hour installation process. It restarted several times, and I remembered that Windows 7 was my default start-up OS. But it changed the default OS to 8 without asking me.
6) The first thing you need to do with your new OS is find Windows Defender, which is activated but was 165 days old. I upgraded it immediately.
7) I have had no problems with it.
