Easy way to update to W10 using existing W8.1 system
Hi there
If you want to test W10 builds using all your existing programs then this IMO is the esiest way to do it. This way preserves your REAL W8 / W8.1 / W7 machine.
1) Install VMware player (FREE)
2) install VMWARE stand alone converter -- also FREE
3) Run the VMware converter tool to convert your existing running REAL machine into a Virtual machine (P2V this process is called - Physical to Virtual)
4) Power on the newly created Virtual machine
5) run the W10 update from inside the VM --- job done !!!
Here's a screenshot of the initial Physical ==> Virtual machine conversion using the VMware conversion tool.
