    From the hassle I had helping a friend get back access to his Win 7 computer that he had upgraded to 10, I would suggest turning off your password login to Win 7 or 8 before you do an upgrade to 10.

    For whatever reason, after the upgrade my friend's valid password no longer logged him into Win 10. And from the multitude of comments online it is pretty common. And for an intermediate like me it took hours to get into the Bios and change the boot order and then to get his computer to actually boot using the flash drive with the iso of Offline NT Password & Registry Editor on it.

    Read my Win 10 post "Cannot sign in, does not recognize old password" for some more info, if needed or if you can't login to Win 10 now.
