Harmful Dell technical support

Three different tech support personnel helped me upgrade from Win 7 to WIN 10 on my 1 week old Inspiron 3650.  I paid for the following from the parts list "

619-AHTY

Windows 7 Pro English 64bit (Includes Windows 10 Pro License)"

Not one tech mentioned going from Win 7 to 10 would wipe my drive.  So I found out at the cliff, where there was no turning back.

I ask for $150 refund, they say "We politely refuse", and I never get out of talking to india.

Their response:
