Mine had no issues upgrading.

Running legacy bios boot mode, not UEFI.

Now if you do a fresh install and you boot in the opposite mode from how
your disk is partitioned, so boot legacy with a GPT disk or boot UEFI with
a legacy MBR disk, then I would not be surprised if the windows installer
wipes out the entire disk since it wants to create a new partition table
of the "correct" kind.  Of course if that is what happened, I doubt it
is new to this release of windows.
