I'm updating someone's older HP Pavilion laptop from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, using Microsoft's Media Creation Tool. I've created a recovery partition and made a complete system backup, in case anything goes awry. For the best chance of success, I'm trying to update the system as much as possible, but I've run into...well, every problem:
I've read that BIOS versions predating Windows 10 sometimes refuse to play nice with the OS. The BIOS version currently installed is from 2012. The CPU driver is also old, from 2009. Any ideas on how to proceed? The owner would like the laptop to have Windows 10, but I'm hesitant to perform the update if it has a high chance of failure. Also, if it does fail, should recovery from the new partition be relatively straightforward? This is my first time installing Windows 10. Let me know if any more information would be helpful.
