I upgraded all the laptops and desktops in the village school to Windows 10 from Windows 7 and all went smoothly. The trick was preparation, I say was because you can't do it anymore, not for free. Full disk checks, defrag and cleans. Remove AV software (you can re-install it afterwards) and ensure it's fully up to date.
While a clean install would probably have been quicker, re-installing all the school software would have been a pain. Personally I've never had much of a problem upgrading any machine either schools, private or my own, although all have been from Windows 7 with only my own laptop coming up from Windows 8.1 (the demon operating system.)
