That's exactly what it does when it works as intended.onomatopoeia99 wrote: »And indeed that is exactly what it does, as unofficial IT support to friends and family I seem to have ended up putting / babysitting several machines of various configurations through the upgrade, in addition to my own and various test platforms at work.
However, ISTR we've had someone on one of the threads here say they couldn't boot their machine after, so that puts them at risk. There are instances of it out and about too, eg. https://www.reddit.com/r/windows/comments/3hsgfc/windows_10_bricked_my_computer/ and http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-windows_install/windows-10-bricked-my-dell-laptop/7d780004-1601-4f5a-8603-4b713bece7c2
Hence the recommendation to back them up (which is general good advice anyway).
I'm not saying that it will happen, or even that it is highly likely to happen, just that there have been instances of it occurring.0
