    How to upgrade customized win-7 to win-10


    Hello,

    I have a laptop with multiple partitions running 64-bit Win-7 Pro. While doing a fresh install, I followed Kari's tutorials and set up User Profile on another partition.

    Based on the above, I was wondering what is the recommended approach to upgrade to Win-10.
    Would upgrade to Win-10 from windows updates recognize that User Profiles are in a different partition? If it does then that would be very helpful as I can - take a fresh image of C:\ with Win-7 just in case, upgrade to Win-10 and then make another image of C:\.

    Any thoughts\suggestions\recommendations?

    Thank you for your assistance.

    :)

    Vista to Windows 10

    I agree with try 3, this site is not, monitored by microsoft. if you read above many people have bought win 7 with key for aout $ 50.00, then after custom install or upgrade to win 7 and you do all updates for win, 7 you will get win 10 offer to upgrade
    to win 10 for free. also read that it is not possible to upgrade from vista to win 10, you need to go to win 7 first, then upgrade to win 10. although i agree that MS does not appreciate vista users loyalty, since they rolled out win 10 the way they did.
    they could have offered win 7 free to vista users. so they could get wn 10 free after theycustom installed ot upgraded to win 7 from Vista. use you efforts wisely and upgrade to win 7. first to get free win 10.

    windows 10 activation

    I had downloaded media creation tool and used it to upgrade my Win 7. When it asked "product key" for upgrade win 10, the win 7 product key didn't work.

    Thus I had to use "custom upgrade", which wiped out my Win 7 drive.

    Now I have the issue with "activation key" as Win 10 doesn't like Win 7's product key.

    * Reinstall my Win 7 would require lots of time including downloading SP1 + patches.

    Btw, it's like I'm using a pirate Win 10.
