Computer store news: Microsoft announced the day before the release of all Windows 8 and Windows 7 users can upgrade to Windows 10 system free of charge in the second half of this year.

For those who are still using Windows 7 or 8.1, there is now a new way to go straight to Windows 10: Windows Update. This upgrade is simple and the system can be upgraded to the new Windows version like a regular update.

After the update is complete, you will find that all the previously installed programs are still working, and most of the previous settings have been saved, so the whole update is almost a seamless transition. Of course you need to be careful not to trigger bugs in Build 9926.

Interestingly, this new update was also discovered in the Windows 10 Build 9926 release, where the ability to upgrade to the new build has been integrated into the "Windows Update". It is clear that Microsoft plans to allow all users to seamlessly update to the latest version of Windows 10.
