How to Upgrade from Windows 7 or 8 to Windows 10 ?

You’re not moved in a clean install, you don’t want to flap with wiping your computer, you just want to take the jump and upgrade to Windows 10. It might be a relatively direct forward process, but it’s always useful to deliver a guide. Read on as we walk you through the upgrade process.

Why Do I Want To Do This?

While there is something to be spoken  for a intact  new clean installation there’s also something to be said for upgrading your OS and keeping your applications, files, and folder system all in place.

Upgrades aren’t without the random hiccup but from a time-saving and ease-of-use standpoint they’re much faster and easier than doing a full wipe and then dealing with back  all your old files and installing apps.

Just because it’s a pretty simple process (or should be if everything goes smoothly) doesn’t mean there aren’t things you need to do before you upgrade and important choices to make during the upgrade process. While a lot of sites are just pointing people at the installer and telling them to just download it and run it, we’re taking the time to give you some programe tips and walk you through the process.

Note: if you want to do a totally clean installation and not an upgrade, please see our article How to Clean Install Windows 10.
