    Upgrading from W7 to W10


    I am currently running W7 on an SSD and want to upgrade to W10 on the same hardware.


    Is this possible? If so, anything special I need to do? I was unable to install the free upgrade when it was available because of the SSD.


    Thanks.

    :)

    W7 to W10 upgrade

    I have tried to upgrade to W10 home premium from my 64-bit W7 home premium operating system on my laptop. I checked that I meet all requirements and have tried everything anyone ever suggested. I wasted 2 days in December 2015, and still failed.

    I had no problem in March 2016 upgrading my desktop W7 Ultimate to W10, so I thought I might try again to upgrade my W7 home premium.

    I have now wasted another 2 days in March trying to upgrade the laptop. Either it is a problem with my laptop that the Windows Update Trouble-Shooter does not find, or W7 Home Premium (64) will not upgrade to W10. I give up.

    Problems to upgrade from W7 To W10

    Hi Martmcd,

    I had already done what you suggested without any success, additionally I had also:

    • Changed the region etc to USA
    • Rebooted after having disabled all Startup Services (other than Microsoft) and also the Startup Applications from the System Configuration
    • Refreshed the MBR by using the W7 RE console.
    • I am only using Microsoft Security Essential, I did not uninstall it, but stopped it from running during the upgrade as done on the other PCs which were successfully upgraded.
    I am running out of ideas, I could plan a refresh of the of the BCD, but this PC holds lots of valuable data and chargeable applications I am terrified of the consequences. (I have never attempted a BCD rebuild and do not know what to expect).

    As previously indicated Microsoft upgrade ordering software has indicated that the PC is compatible with a W10 upgrade.

    Do you have further suggestions

    Upgrading from W7 to W10

    W7 to W10 upgrade

    I am considering upgrading from my current w7 home premium 64 bit to w10 which is offered free.

    Main reason due to w7 home premium only allowing me to use half of my 32gm of ram.

    Simple question:

    Will w7 home premium 64 bit upgrade to w10 home 64 bit?
