Windows 10: Upgrade to Windows 10

Brink your last step here what are the drawbacks to doing this will i not be able to refresh or roll back windows if i needed to?? 24. If you like, you could use Disk Cleanup to delete the Windows upgrade log files, Previous Windows installation(s), and Temporary Windows installation files items to free up the large amount of space that they take on your hard drive. (see screenshots below)

 

Hello Tony,

Correct. If you delete the Windows.old folder, you will no longer be able to go back to a previous version of Windows.

 

Can you answer my question, please? *Smile

 

Akash,

You can use the ISO created from the Media Creation Tool to upgrade to Windows 10 on your activated windows 7 by doing step 5 in the tutorial on the first page. *Smile

 

So, even if Internet get disconnected for a while, Media Creation Tool will be able to resume its progress without any interruption?

By the way, does this method need Windows 7 SP1 too? (it's not a big problem, but still!). Also, are there any important update which are important before preceding to upgrade to Windows 10?

 

Hello Akash,

If your internet connection fails before MCT is able to finish downloading, then it may not be able resume and have to start over.

Yes, you need to have Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.1 Update.

 

Thanks for letting me know these things. *Smile By the way, can I do free upgrade through the ISO available in the Microsoft's Site? As I will not able to download it ever through Media Creation Tool if it doesn't support resume. *Sad

 

Yes, you can use step 5 with an ISO from the Media Creation Tool to upgrade to the free offer as well. *Smile

 

No, I mean- can I use the ISO downloaded from that linked site? I can download from MCT but as you said it will restart the download, so it will never download due to the bad Internet stability in my city.

So, the only option left with me is downloading anything via download manager, so it can also resume. So, can you tell me if those ISOs are valid for free upgrade too?

Please do check the link I've listed in my above post.

 

Your link is the same one in the tutorial for where to get the ISO from.

Yes, you can use the ISO for the free offer if you upgrade using step 5.

 

And by the way, I've en_us version of Windows 7 Ultimate. So, should I download English version or English international. I had asked this question earlier but one person had written somewhere in this group that we have to install the same version. So, can you tell me which one I should use?

 

By the way, you've provided - Windows 10 (Media Creation Tool) link, while I'm asking about - Windows 10 ISO

In PC, it may redirect to the link shared by you but in phone, it works without any issue.

So, can you tell me if is also valid for free upgrade?

When I asked MS Live Chat support team regarding this, he said- "You can but to set your expectation it might ask for a product key in the future w/c you need to purchase a full license."

So, does it mean that only MCT's ISO file can be used for free upgrade?

 

The links are for the same Media Creation Tool to get the ISO from. It would need to be a 32-bit ISO if you are upgrading on a 32-bit Windows 7. When you upgrade, you would also select the same language as you have installed.

There is also a link to download the ISO file directly!

The link get REDIRECTED to the Media Creation Tool on PC, I think. Try it on your phone, especially if you could access it via UC Browser. Please try once. The download link look like this - ** REMOVED ** I was able to download it through Download Manager too. It also supports resume.

However, the link is expired because it had 24 hours validity. Please try to access ** REMOVED ** through mobile.

 

You can see the screenshots. It is the screenshot of the page from where we can download the ISO file directly.

For example, see the Download Link for 32-bit = ** REMOVED **
