Solved with clean install. Thanks!

Alright. Didn't think I was cutting any corners. But I see your point, starting the process now. I was hesitant because it's not only my first upgrade but never done a clean install before either. Thought it was a bigger deal but it's looking pretty easy. Do you recommend using the windows...
