Renee, is this guy Legit and is the process free? I remember a few years back, they were giving out Windows 10 for free. I didn't because I didn't want to be part of their BETA test...I would wait for a stable version. I'll wait for your response before proceeding.

I know very little about computers and was considering buying a new computer with windows 10 already installed. I instead found his video and followed it to the letter and much to my happiness two and one half hours later my computer was running Windows 10. My wife thought I had won the lottery I was so happy. I might not have won the lottery but Michael saved me almost two thousand dollars. Thank you Michael.

Michael, THANKS SO MUCH for this video!! I'm a diehard Win7 fan, but with all the security issues now, it's pretty obvious that I needed to upgrade my machines to a later Windows version - or switch to a different OS altogether. After much hand-wringing and foot-dragging over the issue, I ran across your video on KZbin and decided to go for it. SO GLAD I did! Following your instructions, the online installation worked flawlessly. The privacy tips and "make-it-work-like-Windows-7" info was fantastic. And like others here have commented, your presentation was well-organized, no superfluous "BS," and the step-by-step walkthrough with the screen shots was very professional and effective. Much appreciated - I owe you a six-pack. Tell me where to send it!

A few late nights ago, I decided to upgrade from Win 7, but only after watching this video. I was under the assumption upgrading was no longer free, so I was very apprehensive, not to mention concerned because my Sony VAIO is over 10 years old. But, Win 7 is being put to sleep in three months, so I took the plunge. I don't keep personal files on my PC, so I wasn't scared of losing anything--just scared of losing use of the PC. I followed your procedures, but it took several hours to complete, and more time for updates. But, the upgrade completed successfully, and it shows it's an activated version with a Product ID. I am now a Win 10 user, and I have you to thank for that. I'm glad I decided to watch your video.

Useful guide! I upgraded from Windows 7 - took about one hour. Actually, more time was spent reading & researching, watching YT tutorials, and performing file backups. Make sure you backup your files before upgrading, in case of any issues. Use an external drive. Windows 7/8 comes with a tool called Windows Backup, which is nice. It helps to make a new system restore point - in case you need to undo anything. During the installation, it may also help to close all other apps running in the background. I’ve heard you might need to update BIOS - but wait to see if there are any issues/errors first. Ironically, most of my time upgrading to Win. 10 was spent updating Windows 7 - to ensure the installation went as smoothly as possible. Only about one hour running the Windows 10 update - got it on the first try. Remember to check for any other updates in System > About, to keep your computer up-to-date, as necessary. Working as of 12/02/20. P.S. If you have a music collection on Windows Media Player - YES your files will carry over onto Win. 10. Same goes for your other files (e.g. Pictures, Documents, Desktop, etc.). You’re welcome!

All my data and programs transferred seamlessly to the best of my knowledge. I watched a couple of other similar tutorials, including your follow up to this one but yours had the additional details. I even did what you said and downloaded a couple of programs such as VLC and 7 Zip plus and changed to classic view, just as you directed. A really helpful tutorial. It took nearly 2 hours but I had the luxury of two snoozes whilst waiting for downloads and checks etc. A slight learning curve with some stuff laid out differently but all in all I am 200% satisfied. 5* This is a big weight off my mind thanks to you.

Your vid popped up at random and as I have still been running Windows 7 and believed the media that I was now stuck with it unless I coughed up cash to upgrade, I was a bit cynical. However, your tutorial was so engaging I decided to give it a go. I backed up my stuff before starting, then once that was done I played along with you. Well I'm pleased to report that it worked completely and now my saggy Windows 7 ten year old PC is running Windows 10 beautifully. What makes this more amazing is the fact that when Windows 10 was first launched I got the notification downloaded from Microsoft inviting me to get it. The app did a scan of my system and went 'nope, your system isn't compatible' Well you showed them! I can't thank you enough for this video, like and subscribed - looking forward to more excellent content. The date is 19/01/2020 - anybody else thinking of upgrading, do it!

Michael, I just wanted to say how pleased, professional and accurate your presentation on upgrading from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro was. I had been avoiding this task for several years for my work station/file server (even considered paying a professional to come in and do it). I own all my software and aps, but not sure where all the original installation disks are for a clean install and a few of the companies are gone. Watched more than a few KZbin presentations re an upgrade rather than a clean install. Yours was the first one that convinced me that I could do this. Did an image back up of my C drive (just in case). Cleaned up and updated all aps. Disabled all antivirus and Maleware after doing one last scan. Held my breath and followed you video, step by step on my tablet. It worked! Just wish I had disabled the Bios Lock/password before I started! I am a bit paranoid re access to this server. Hangs up and requires me to input that password every time the computer reboots. Can’t think of everything. Thanks again, GFrey

It works! THANKYOU so much for your video! I followed every step & it took a bit over an hour. Before starting I backed up files & tried to create as much space as possible. It was so helpful knowing what to expect after each step & it saved my files. Just before starting, turned off firewall & security, W10 came with security & after installation it immediately prompted me to turn firewall on. Appreciate the Ninite options. After the final update & restart...the start screen went black, the simple fix was to press Ctrl + Alt + Del & it immediately reappeared, couldn't have done it without you.

Me too. Funny thing is: I've just upgraded from XP to W7 this year. :/
@billmonroe88264 жыл бұрын
@@persona83XP was a good operating system. But there is no money in it for Microsoft, so why not have another operating system so people are forced to buy it? It's all about the Benjamins for Bill Gates. Nothing wrong with windows 7 but Microsoft doesn't want to provide patches for their holes.

I'll upgrade the windows today on an 8-year-old pc i'll edit this post after I complete the process(it might take a while lol) Edit : It took me 6 hours to complete the upgrade.All my files are there and all the programs are working like before The only thing i had to change was the default browser from microsoft edge to chrome and the default video player to my favourite one. I don't notice any differences in computer performance even with low specs...everything is the same as before i just have to change how it looks so it's more like windows 7 and i'm done.The windows are activated for free Thanks a lot for this guide. Edit 2:After completing the windows updates my pc actually runs noticably faster than before

Thanks Michael, I just upgraded a 9yr old PC via your method for the second or third time. Only diff this time was having to use the alternative route employing the ISO on a USB. I was eventually forced by software telling me to "get with it" . Once again I sought your calm cool demeanour to remind me. All the best my friend! CGL

You should have ways have your important data backed up somewhere else other than your main drive. That means having anything important in more than one place.

Also, loved how you added in the extra on how to change the look after installing Windows 10. I updated to Windows 10 today with no problems. Thank you very much.

I'm a computer idiot, so I can't tell you how much I appreciate this! Thank you! Now, If I can do this without screwing it up, I'll be back in business! I just don't know (or understand) why they can't just fix Win7, though! It's the only one I know, and I can barely understand how it all works anyways, but the times they are a'changin'! I do have to wonder how long it will be til Win11 takes over and we have to do all of this all over again! :-/
