Although you see many complaints in this thread, overall I believe the upgrade is relatively smooth for most.

I have upgraded, in-place, 2 PCs. A part from minor issues starting the second one on the laptop, in which I forced the upgrade (turned out the installer is particular about your "locale"; setting it to English:United States fixes it), it has been smooth sailing.

Just do the upgrade. If you are unhappy with it, it's not too late to do a clean install. (Also defrag after the upgrade as no doubt it overwrites tons of files. So unless you are on an SSD, hard drive performance will suffer.)
