As someone who has witnessed Windows explode twice from in-place upgrades I would just buy a new disk or computer and start over. I get that this is different but the time that went into that data is worth way more than a new disk. It's just not worth the risk IMO. Maybe if you don't care about the data or have good backups and wish to help shake bugs out - go for it I guess.

- ssl-3 2y agoWhich "it"? Both btrfs and NTFS have snapshot capabilities.
- rini17 2y agoIt's so well hidden from users it might not as well exist. And you can't snapshot only a part of the ntfs filesystem.
- ssl-3 2y agoThe userland tools included with Windows are very lacking, but that's more of a distro problem than a filesystem problem. VSS works fine -- boringly, even -- and people take advantage of it all the time even if they don't know it.
