Upgrade from W'7 to W'10.. strange thing happened

For some reason I decided to for it.. and I am still not sure if this was the good idea.


My Lenovo G570 was running w'7 Home edition sort of OK, with some issues..
After upgrade, all looked well, all apps were still there and working OK as far as I could see..
But today, there was a new pending upgrade offered, and I went for it.

First, after quite some spend in "configuring Windows", my login password was consistently refused as "incorrect".
So I powered the lap down and ON again.
This time password was accepted, but I couldn't recognize my own lap..

Familiar task bar content disappeared, to be replaced with only cpiple of apps..
Some icons/shortcuts from old login were still on the desktop, but some of them refused to work and some apps wanted to be re-installed..

Almost as if the system allocated new user with old password?
What happened here?


I am not panicking because this lap was not used a lot, but I still have some applications without original installation disks.. not to mention passwords in Firefox (all gone), as well as email app (Thunderbird, all my all emails are also gone).

Any ideas what caused this?
Thanks in advance!
