I've now installed Windows 10 on three computers and I kept all of the
old settings. The start menu reads just fine and the only problem I had
was that after I installed a Skype update on my desktop, The desktop
Skype shortcut stopped working and I had to reestablish the shortcut
again to get Skype to work again.

I have never had good results with a in place install. any old problems will be
carried over to the new windows version because it keeps the old registry

but with windows 10, once you have done the in place install it will be
automatically activated with microsoft. then you can do a clean install.
what I did was, while still running windows 10 is to use a system reset instead.
this also reinstalleds windows with the choice to keep your personal files or
save nothing.
both ways you still get a clean registry and a reinstallation of windows and
the default apps.
both ways will erase the previously installed apps you installed after windows
was installed.
I kept my personal files.
it keeps the desktop icons and personal folders you created. but not the
programs.
and it kept all my personal installation program files so I could reinstall
again.
it kept the folders where I have the shareware and commercial programs I have
to install.
I use a folder called installations. with sub folders for each program.
I copy all my installation cd’s there so even if I lose the cd’s I will still
be able to re install them.
w e, openbook,text aloud,goldwave,printer drivers etc. are all there. and on
carbonite on line backup.

the setup part of your programs are not speech friendly at all with windows 10.
many controls and instructions will not speak without using the mouse. even
setup programs that have full speech when installing them with windows 7.
