Hello and Welcome to the Linus Tech Tips Forum.

 

Recently i updated my PC through windows update and i didn't have any trouble, nor find any bugs.

If you have an older version of Windows(before 1903) i'd recommend to make a backup and try updating if you want. But honestly, i'd wait a couple of day/weeks.

To be quiet honest, i don't recommend just "updating" i'd recommend a clean install.

I see, but just updating you might loose some system perfomance due to this update, specially if you're using a Hard drive. Thats why i recommend a clean install. But it's ok. Try first, contacting the support team from this Omni software, and see if they can send you your license in order for you to do a clean install

Actually, the more problematic thing is carrying issues from Win7 to Win10.

 

If the system had a virus, then you are looking at reinstalling in any case. Remember that anti-virus only removes the infection, it doesn't repair system filed and changes done by the virus, if any. So just that, might screw up the upgrade process, or possibly still exposes you against security issues currently on Win7. I say 'may' and 'if any' as they are thousands of type of viruses and they all do different things. Some are nothing beside bitcoin (or whatever) mining, or shows ads or redirects web pages, (basically crosses the malware line), or actually does serious things or a combination of things.

 

Also, you have no guarantee that updating to Win10, will keep you access to the OMNI account thingy. So best to get resolved first, and then clean install Win10

You can update to win10  but don't expect it will be painless process. Some of your tools may stop working, especially when we're talking about network stuff (firewall for example). Other than that you should be ok.

 

If you're taking about viruses, it depends if you know what it was and if you're sure removing was complete without any negative changes.

 

You may try to image your current system using Macrium Reflect rescue usb and then, if update failed, you may revert all changes in minutes.
