Several ways to upgrade to Windows 10<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re using Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 or Windows 8.1 you\u2019re eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 10. There are several ways you can upgrade. \u00a0Many of you reserved \u00a0your copy of Windows 10 and should be getting it soon \u00a0If you did reserve a copy of Windows 10 you will receive the update via Windows update (see images below):<\/p>\n

What if you did not reserve a copy \u2014 or don\u2019t want to wait?<\/h3>\n

For those of you who didn\u2019t reserve a copy or for those of you who did reserve a copy but don\u2019t want to wait \u00a0\u2013 you can download the Windows 10 download tool which lets you upgrade your PC directly or create in installation USB or an ISO file from which you can create an installation DVD. If you choose create a USB \u00a0or DVD \u2013 you will need a blank 4GB (or larger) USB flash drive or blank writable DVD.<\/p>\n

If you choose \u201cUpgrade This PC now\u201d the Windows 10 upgrade will start downloading in the background \u2013 you can keep using your computer normally while the Windows 10 upgrade downloads. It\u2019s a big download (over 3GB) so, depending on your connection, it may take a while.<\/p>\n

Above: Upgrade your PC to Windows 10.<\/p>\n

Below: Create installation media \u2013 choose your language, the edition of Windows (Home, Pro, etc.) and 32-bit, 64-bit or both. Keep in mind if you\u2019re using Windows 7 Home Premium or Windows 8.1 Home you must choose Windows 10 Home. If you\u2019re using the Pro version of Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, choose the Pro version of Windows 10 \u2013 and so forth. If you\u2019re not sure what version your using, press and hold down the Windows Key and tap the \u201cPause\/Break\u201d key.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Above choose the architecture. Keep in mind, if \u00a0you\u2019re running 32-bit Windows now you should choose 32-bit or \u201cBoth\u201d. Conversely if you\u2019re running 64-bit Windows, choose 64-bit or \u201cBoth\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Above: Choose whether you want to create an installation USB or DVD. If you\u2019re using a computer older than 4 years, to be on the safe side, choose the ISO option to create a DVD. Many computers made 4 years or more ago don\u2019t have the option to boot from a USB unless you change your BIOS settings, which most of you are not going to want to do. If your computer is 3 years-old or newer you should have no problem booting from the installation USB.<\/p>\n

Microsoft has made upgrading to Windows 10 easier than any previous upgrade and from what we\u2019ve seen in our own testing and the reports coming in from others today \u2013 it appears the upgrade is very easy and flawless for most people. However, there\u2019s never a guarantee when it comes to computers \u2013 your experience may be different.<\/p>\n
