Kalju Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 :rolleyes: If You thought to test Windows 10, but You are not not quite sure how to do this, then the best way is to use the Windows Update service, which will help you to do the whole process automatically. :) You do not have to look for version, which is best for you, how to download it and then burn a disc or how to make USB flash drive etc. :lol: Microsoft wants to make things more comfortable and has added an option to upgrade to Windows 10 using Windows Update.The main benefit of upgrading via Windows Update is convenience. You don't need to download the ISO image of Windows 10, don't need to burn it to DVD or copy it to a USB Flash Drive, and don't need to run it afterwards on your system. :P You need only download one small Windows utility, which will do all, what You need.Only is recommended not to upgrade Your main/work computer, because the Windows 10 is not ready, it is only for testing.Visit this Windows site and download it or use given direct link.Links are also here:Windows site: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview-downloadDownload: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=522367The upgrade processThe first thing you need to do is downloaded a small program from Microsoft which prepares your Windows 7 or Windows 8 operating system for the upgrade.It is a 10 Megabyte file that runs automatically on your computer after you execute it. It requires a restart of the PC so that the changes it made take effect.The device will boot into the current operating system after restart.Open Windows Update on the PC now. You can tap on the Windows-key, type Windows Update and hit enter to do so. There you need to click on the check for updates button. It may take a while for the check to complete. In the end, the update to Windows 10 should be displayed which you can run with a click on the install button. As you can see on the screenshot above, the update has a size of 2.8 Gigabyte. The download may take a while depending on your Internet connection speed. The update installer runs the same upgrade process as the ISO installer.Important remarks:It seems possible to go back to the old operating system after the update. While that is the case, it is highly suggested that you create a backup of your important files and data before you proceed with the update.If you are running a 32-bit version of Windows, you cannot upgrade to 64-bit versions of Windows 10.There is also no option to change the interface language during the upgrade process.You can remove the "update to Windows 10 preparation update" again from Windows. You find it in the installed updates list as "Update for Microsoft Windows (KB2990214)".Source: Open hereAuthor: Martin Brinkmann :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalju Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Will OEM versions of Win7 or 8 be eligible for free updating once the O/S is released?About it does not know anyone else nothing. The stories are told of all sorts.And most of all, do you remember, what was discussed, when such things were like Windows Blue and Windows 9 - where are they and where are these promises?No sense to dream before, if something is not ready. Don't make any illusions. This is Windows.It is unpredictable Windows, they just try, perhaps something goes to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
