" I removed the blocking methods of GP & Registry before I started."
How does one do that?

I had tried the blocking methods suggested on here to stop Windows automatically reinstalling the Conexant driver but they didn.t work.
So i removed them and, with the driver installed, I upgraded to 2004 . It is now working perfectly with the driver installed.
While doing some digging up regarding this whole situation, I found some forum discussion on Lenovo's forum that correeponds to this hedilus Conexant audio drivers having similar issues (2015-16) while upgrading to newer windows version.

Apparently this situation is nothing new to Microsoft or Conexant.
