Hey guys.
A few days ago I decided to finally give Windows 10 a shot. I had been having a minor problem this entire time. Occasionally, my wifi would occasionally detect no access points in range when they are plenty. I learned the solution was to go into 'Device Manager' and reset my wireless car. It was a minor, but inconvenient problem. I would lose my stored wifi passwords in the process. I thought that upgrading might fix it. Anyway, I can apparently switch back if I don't like it, right? Didn't feel any hurry before, since I was using Start8, which gave you a Windows 7 Start bar.
After restart, I got a message telling me that update failed because of my anti-virus program. Over time I started getting problems. Today, I couldn't get any work done because all the icons on my desktop became unclickable, none of the programs I started would launch.
I decided to try seeing if upgrading to Windows 10 again would solve these problems. I uninstalled avast for safety and then the computer restarted after uninstall.
I then hit the Windows 8 Automatic Repair/Startup Repair page. After trying several times to Refresh, switching to safe mode, anything; I had no choice but to reset my computer and lost all my files.
So guys, uninstall/disable your anti-virus before upgrading to windows 10.
