I Just found your site - amazing!
Planning to upgrade to Win 10 from Win 7 Home Premium. All the chat talks about Win 7 Pro and Win 10 Pro. Will the procedures be the same for my upgrade? I do have my Win 7 Product Key.
Hi, you have these two basic options:
Upgrade to Windows 10
- that keeps everything you have and provides guidance and info on handling failures.
Clean Install Windows 10 Directly without having to Upgrade First
- that's a clean install, keeping nothing.
Note: as a basic precaution, make sure you have an up to date disk image before starting e,g, Macrium reflect (free).
Things can sometimes go significantly wrong.
Further:
There are some ways of making the use of Win 10 much easier, coming from 7, esp. with 3rd party utilities e.g. Open Shell (free) start menu- no Win 10 style menu can handle a more deeply nested (folders) start menu.
I tried to Download the Macrium tool from TenForum website. The only thing that happened was the cursor zoom (+) symbol turned on. I did a Microsoft Backup but chat says that is no longer valid.
Thank you for your reply.
