KB3021917

[Welshjim]

Included in this month's second Tuesday Window's Updates is KB3021917.
I find it hard to understand what it is for. Is it like the old Win 7 Upgrade Advisor--but this time for Win7 SP1 to Win 10?
Any insight would be appreciated.

From what I saw, it installs a performance monitor for testing Windows 10.

This update performs diagnostics in Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) in order to determine whether performance issues may be encountered when the latest Windows operating system is installed.

I'd just skip it unless you are testing Windows 10.

I chose not to install that one. It also says..

Telemetry is sent back to Microsoft for those computers that participate in the Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP).

I do not participate in that program. If they want to know what I think about Windows they can call me. I have a few specific thoughts on 8.1 that I'd like to pass along.

I have Win 10 32bit preview, running just fine on a old Dell Optilex 755 with 2 GB of ram. Oh , the SDD is a 240GB .

But you didn't upgrade from Win7, right? Pretty sure the patch is for those upgrading from Win7 to Win10.

Clean install like always.

Your right, now that I have read the KB.

Thanks guys!
I wish MS could write less opaquely.

Even when Microsoft does give you a clear answer, it may not be useful. See the link below:
