    recovering windows 7 user profiles after upgrading to windows 10


    I recently upgraded to windows 10 from windows 7. On windows 7 I had 4 user accounts and I was the administrator. When I opened windows 10 they are not visible, I can see them in windows.old/users but I don't know how to add those accounts back onto windows 10.

    :)

    Windows 10 to be Free Upgrade for Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 Users

    In what could be a fundamental shift in how Microsoft monetizes its flagship product, the Windows operating system, the company decided to offer its upcoming Windows 10 as a free upgrade for existing users of Windows 8.1 and Windows 7. This offer will be applicable only for the first year following Windows 10 launch (after which, Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 users will have to pay to upgrade to Windows 10). Windows 10 will see the return of the Start Menu, a productive Desktop environment, and cutting-edge new API features such as DirectX 12.

    Note that it says "pay to upgrade" not "pay to use".
