Did they actually stop it? Last I checked it would still quietly accept a Win7 license key to install Win10 even though the official period ended a long time ago.

The UI differences between 8.1 and 10 aren't really all that significant. 10 is really just a cross between 7 and 8.1.

I had a bit of a scare yesterday, though. I didn't know there was a new Windows update pending. I went out to do some grocery shopping and came back to hear my computer repeatedly emitting a long-long-long BIOS error beep code. Didn't think a Windows update could screw up a computer so badly that it wouldn't even POST.

I think I just have some flaky hardware, though, because one power cycle later it booted without incident.
