First of all I have Windows 8.1 on my desktop and Windows 7 on my laptop.
Months ago, before I had my desktop, I tried Windows Tech Preview(when the it first came out) on my laptop so I know it works. Now the Tech Preview is more advanced along and I have my desktop as my workhorse I want/can try it again.
So my question is: If I use the same(my only) Windows account for both the 8.1 and for Tech Preview:
Anyone that's done this please tell me how it went. Otherwise I'll just start from scratch(can also be fun), at least then I'll learn where everything is faster that way probably.
Note: I know there will be now problem with files, so what I need input on is syncing system, app, IE and personalization settings.
Thanks

- Will my 8.1 settings sync with 10?
- Will there be any compatibility issues with the syncing?
- How about, if I just sync them 1x after installation, then turn the OneDrive settings syncing off(what I really want to do to set 10 up quicker)?
