    Upgrading from Win 7 directly to Win 10 RTM


    With all the information regarding upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 RTM I would have thought I could find something that would show me how to upgrade my Win 7 Home Premium to Windows 10 RTM. I could not sort it out.

    I have Win 7 Home Premium installed and have looked all over the place for an way to use Windows Update to the job.
    I have no or little interest in doing a clean install via an ISO at this point.

    Will someone point me in the right direction.

    Thank you.

    :)

    Windows XP to Windows 10

    Hi,

    You can not get the FREE upgrade to Win 10 from XP... Only Win 7 SP1 and Win 8.1.

    Windows 10 Enterprise has a Evaluation version available, but it is not an upgrade...

    It requires a clean install..

    At one time, you could get a Win 10 Preview for any machine by downloading a ISO, but that no longer exists after the release of the RTM...

    Even then, you could only upgrade Win 7 and higher. Everything else required a clean install.

  3. Am past the 30 day mark with WIN 10 Can't stand it any longer!

    System was current with all updates, drivers before upgrading to Win 10. I downloaded Win 7 Pro directly from MS to upgrade from Win 7 Home edition. Everything was up to date before upgrade and system was totally compatible for Win 10.

    Upgrading from Win 7 directly to Win 10 RTM

    If you don't have the GWX icon on your taskbar, and are not being offered Windows 10 in Windows update, it will be much easier to simply use the Media Creation Tool to perform the upgrade. You don't have to burn anything to a disk, just run the tool, select the correct edition (in your case, Windows 10 Home) and whatever bitness you are install, then choose Upgrade this PC now.

    Make sure you perform an upgrade first, you can clean install any time you want after that, no key is required (just click the skip button if you decide to do a clean install).

    This assumes that your current Windows 7/8.x is valid, genuine, and activated.

    Thank you very, very much. I didn't realize the Media Creation Tool would do that! I thought, mistakenly, it was for just for creating a DVD or USB disk. I worked like a charm.
