Windows 10: Win10 downloaded, how do I start installation?

I'm running Win7 Home Premium and did not get a prompt (nag) for Win10, but initiated a download. I think it has completed the download, since I have 2.93 GB in a folder marked Windows10Upgrade on the C: drive.

I'm up to date on all Win7 updates. How do I initiate the Win10 installation? I'm on a metered connection and do not want it to download again! Will the Media Creation Tool work? thanks, David

Huh, didn't know there was a time limit on editing my posts. If something like this is required, I'm sure you can ask Microsoft to incorporate such a limitation in the forum, just as exists on various other fora too. FWIW I edited my post before refreshing
the page to see the subsequent answers from you and the OP. Also, if this dumb forum had an option to multi-quote posts, I wouldn't have had to post and edit in the first place.

My mistake. I am familiar with a few technical fora where only subject matter experts can attain mod status. I was also posting immediately after being dismayed to see a few more "answers" here from mods who had clearly not read the questions properly. Anyway,
I apologise for the snark.

Works as stated here. Pinned "Excel 2016" from All apps, then followed my own instructions to rename it to "Microsoft Excel 2016". Worked right away.

 

It should happen automatically. However, you can force it:-

Look for a hidden file called install.esd

Convert that to an iso using

ESD to ISO - Create Bootable ISO from Windows 10 ESD File - Windows 10 Forums

Then mount that iso as a disk image (use tool like virtual clone drive), or use rufus to copy files to a usb drive.

Then click on setup.exe to upgrade.

 

Just curious, has anyone else here ever seen a folder called Windows10Upgrade created by a genuine Microsoft upgrade? I've never seen it nor heard of it.

 

thanks for the comments... I got it downloaded and installed okay. David
