Are you using Windows 7 and wondering how to upgrade to Windows 10 for free? Worry no more! Microsoft released a special upgrade offer for users of Windows 7 who want to upgrade to Windo 10 for free. You will get free new features and updates by upgrading a PC to Windows 10. This blog post will explain how you can upgrade to Windows 10 for free and discuss some features you can enjoy after upgrading to Windows 10.
Before you upgrade to Windows 10, some other programs may need to be uninstalled or disabled. Here are some of the programs and systems that need to be checked before proceeding with upgrading to Windows 10:
Windows 7 should have a genuine Windows 7 license. You can easily check this by going to Control Panel, System and Security, System, and if you see 'Windows is activated,' it is a genuine Windows 7. Contact your computer manufacturer or Microsoft to get the genuine Windows 7 installation media.
Ensure your Automatic Updates are turned on, and you can easily do that by going to Control Panel, System and Security, Windows Update, and click on 'Change settings.' Select 'Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them' and then click on 'OK.'
Windows 10 is a very big system, and it is recommended that you have at least 20 gigabytes of free disk space available on the drive where Windows 7 is installed. Also, ensure no important files or programs might be in use on that drive before upgrading to Windows 10.
Windows 10 needs at least 2 gigabytes of memory to run. You can check the total amount of memory available by going to Control Panel, System, and Security, and the system. Click on 'Advanced system settings' and 'Performance Information and Tool's in the left column. Here, click on 'Open Resource Monitor.' Here, the total amount of memory should be shown in the 'Memory' textbox.
Ensure you have installed the latest version of your graphics card and display driver. For example, if you use an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 graphics card, ensure that the latest version of Microsoft's driver has been installed on your PC before upgrading to Windows 10.
The process of upgrading to Windows 10 might erase some of your data. So you must have backups of all your important data and files. You should also save any files on the screen (you might lose access to your screen while the upgrade is in progress). To ensure you don't lose access to your files during the upgrade, copy them to a USB flash drive or an external disk.
If you have installed any third-party security software, you may want to uninstall it. The reason is that some of these programs can cause problems while updating to Windows 10, block the update, cause your PC to crash, and make it unstable.
Here are the steps you need to follow to upgrade your Windows 7 PC to Windows 10 for free.
When the download is finished, go to the 'Setup' folder for Windows 10 and double-click on the setup file. This will start the installation process of Windows 10.
When Windows 10 setup starts (after a while), it will ask if you want to create an 'upgrade assistant.' Click on 'Upgrade now,' and the system will begin to upgrade your PC to Windows 10.
The first thing during the upgrade process is that Windows will ask whether you want to keep all of your data, install the latest updates and keep your files. You can answer 'yes' for each of those options. After about 15 minutes, the upgraded system should be completed.
When the upgrade is done, you will get a customized welcome screen with notification of your version of Windows. Here, you can see your version of Windows, a short description, and how to update Windows 10 in the future.
Note: Some users might get stuck on this screen while trying to complete the upgrade process. To fix that problem, go to the 'System settings' tab and click on 'Update and recovery.' Here, right-click on 'Choose an option.' Select 'Create installation media for another PC' and click 'Next.' Then, use the downloaded Windows 10 install ISO file to do a clean install of Windows 10. You will not have to upgrade your PC again after that manually.
You are now ready to accept the license terms and click 'Yes.' The program will then start downloading all the necessary components from the Internet.
When Windows 10 installation is complete, you will be greeted with the new Windows 10-style Start screen. You will also see a notification that your PC is ready to use (this can take up to 90 minutes).
At this point, you can access the Windows Store. Here, search for your favorite apps and install them. You can also download many free games from the Windows Store for entertainment.
You are now ready for the final step: signing in with your Microsoft account. Make sure to add the same email and password to your Microsoft account as you did when you were upgrading to Windows 10. A small bar with your profile picture and name will appear when you launch any app. Click it. This will take you straight to the Settings app, where you can manage your apps and settings.
