On July 29th, most Windows fans will stay in front of the computer and wait for Microsoft to push the official version of Windows 10. But for many small white users, what they need most on this day is actually a complete upgrade guide. Let's take a look at the details below and hope to help everyone!

Regarding the upgrade of Windows 10, we have reported many times before. Now we have sorted out these contents, and hope that before the official release of Windows 10, users can systematically understand their upgrade policies, even upgrade methods, upgraded issues, and so on.

Upgrade Policy

Microsoft's official upgrade policy has two main directions:

★After July 29, if users are willing to maintain Windows Insider's registered membership , then such users do not need to do anything at the moment. Users can still get a preview version of the new version via Fast Ring or Slow Ring, and will be automatically activated by the pre-release Key. However, it should be noted that the preview version will have a deadline. Before the old version expires, Microsoft will push the new version, and the user will grasp the upgrade time.

★After July 29th, if users want to no longer maintain the registered membership of Windows Insider, then such users are ready to follow this upgrade policy: Windows 10 is officially released within one year, with genuine Authorized windows7 and Windows 8.1 are free to upgrade. For Windows XP and Windows Vista, upgrading Windows 10 does not qualify for genuine licenses.

It should be noted that Microsoft has also made a clear plan for the upgraded version:

★Windows 8/8.1 Standard Edition, Windows 7 Home Basic Edition and Home Premium Edition Will be upgraded to Windows 10 Home Edition;

★Windows 8/8.1 Professional, Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate will be upgraded to Windows 10 Professional;

Upgrade Method

The upgrade is mainly divided into the following steps:

Users of genuine Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 first check the update in Windows Update to keep the system in the latest state.

It is best to make a backup of the important data on the device first.

★Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 will receive an appointment reminder for the free upgrade of Windows 10, follow the prompts to schedule a free upgrade of Windows 10 step by step.

★When Microsoft pushed Windows 10 on July 29, it opened Windows Update directly on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.

After the upgrade

★Genuine Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 upgrade to Windows 10, the operating system has a genuine license.

★Unrated Windows 7 and Winodws 8.1 After upgrading to Windows 10, the operating system is still non-genuine. Microsoft will partner with partners to provide an attractive upgrade policy for such users to help convert such users into genuine.

After the upgrade, users can't find Windows Media Center on Windows 10, and the desktop widget on Windows 7 is removed. "Bank of Cards", "Sweeping Mines" and "Red Hearts" in Windows 7 will be replaced by the new "Microsoft Solitaire Compilation" and "Microsoft Minesweeping" in Windows 10. The floppy drive of the device is no longer applicable. You need to download the relevant driver from the official Windows or computer manufacturer before you can continue to use the old hardware such as the floppy drive.

If you have Windows Live Essentials installed on your system, Windows 10 will use the OneDrive built into Windows Live Essentials instead of the regular One Drive app. ■
