Updated my Aurora R4 from 8.1 Pro to 10 Pro and used the ISO file burned to a DVD.
Didn't change my BIOS settings and left McAfee running and all updated just fine.
Windows Update kept stating that Win 10 Pro was failing, but the ISO file Microsoft supplies works great.
One thing though, when it warns you that Windows Media Center won't be included on Win 10 Pro, after you click the Continue button, it appears nothing is happening. Just leave it and it will process properly. Just takes a while.
So far I haven't had any problems and seems everything is working pretty much as it had before my upgrade.
I'll most likely keep the Windows.old file around for a bit and then eventually run Disk cleanup later to get rid of it and free up more space.
Another note to those who have the Corsair cooling system installed from the original, visit Corsair and upgrade Corsair Link before the install. (uninstall the one you have and then install the new one dated July 28/15)....works great after this.
If I'm posting in the wrong place I apologize. I want to know if I should upgrade to Windows 10 or will it give me more problems than I need night now.
System Specs
Alienware Aurora R4 (Late 2011) but was purchased in March 2014
Operating System: Windows 7 SP 1
GPU: Nvidia GTX 760 TI OEM
Processor: Intel Core i7-4820k @ 3.70Ghz
Can my PC Handle it or will it just give me problems

Here's the link to the upgrade page for Corsair cooling system H80i and the Corsair Link software that monitors the cooling system.

why must we disable secure boot and also can you provide the link to the bios update?

I didn't disable it, but you may have problems with your video card if it's not disabled first.
You can always disable it first and then when you've updated to Win 10 enable it again.
