Windows 10 upgrade with moved profile location

[Stolly]

Anyone had success upgrading from 7 to 10 when you've changed the default profile location ? I've got mine on my big 3Tb SATA disk leaving the OS on the smaller SSD.

Win10 upgrade fails repeatedly both with media i created, and with the windows update method.

Gets to the full screen installing Windows bit, says PC will reboot in a moment. The installer exits leaving me at the 7 desktop. When i manually reboot, it boots into Windows 10 setup...a "upgrading Windows" very briefly flashes on the screen and then another reboot and back to 7.

Not sure why, wondered if the profile location is the issue.

hmm created a new account with the profile at the default location...same result.

Guess it wants all accounts with the profiles at the default location...Its a family PC with 3 accounts on it. CBA dealing with that for now will come back to it after hols.

You would have thought that they would have written the installer to cope with this. Oh well.
