My 18 month old laptop decided to have a host of problems and I have decided to return it to HP for repair/replacement since it is still under warranty. No surprise that when they return it, chances are likely that it will be restored to a fresh install of Win8.1 which is the original OS. I hadn't planned on having to set up the computer again, but now knowing that it will happen, my question is:
Should I Go Ahead and Immediately Upgrade to Windows 10 (before setting up the computer again and reloading all my programs, etc.?)
or
Should I Set up the computer again (reinstall all software) with the fresh 8.1 OS and then upgrade to Windows 10?
Given all the problems I'm reading about I'm tempted to wait, but feel that perhaps a lot of the problems are because of unstable versions of whatever OS each computer might have. In my case, it will be a totally fresh Win 8.1 for migration.
Thoughts or comments welcome!
