Is Windows 10 going to be an upgrade or fresh install of new OS

Specifically will the change to Windows 10 save all registry entries and installed programs or wipe the registry clean like a fresh install of Windiows 8?

It will be an upgrade, leaving things as they were- best case scenario.

HOWEVER there's no guarantee a piece of furniture won't be moved around or a picture frame won't be askew. Make a backup.

If you install it as an upgrade, it will attempt to do an upgrade.
If you install it as a fresh install, it will do a fresh install.
