How To Upgrade Windows 10 Free?

There are different ways to upgrade your PC to Windows 10, via Windows Update or using the Media Creation Tool. But here I will talk about the best, easiest and the common method for upgrading from Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and even for updating from Windows 10 to the latest Windows 10 November update. That is by downloading the ISO file and upgrading with it. You can upgrade any PC with the ISO file, but you just have to download it once. You can also use ISO file to create a bootable drive and do a clean install.

Check your PC.

Open System Properties on your PC (press Windows + X, and then press Y) and check the Windows edition and System type. You will need to know this for the next steps.

Download the ISO file.

1. Open this link: Microsoft.com/software-download/tec...
2. Select edition: Select Windows 10 (if you have Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro, Windows 8.1, Windows 8.1 Pro) or Windows 10 Single Language (if you have Windows 8 Single Language, Windows 8.1 Single Language) and click Confirm.
3. Select the product language: Select English and click Confirm.
4. Click on 64-bit Download. Click 32-bit Download only if your System type is 32-bit.
5. Click Save to download the ISO file. It will take some time depending on your internet speed. The size of the ISO file is around 3.7 GB.

• Links are valid for 24 hours from time of creation. If you couldn’t download within 24 hours, please follow the steps above again.
• The Windows 10 edition in step 2 have both Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro editions.
• In step 3 English is English US and English International is English UK. It is better to select English, you can change the language later after upgrading to Windows 10.
• The ISO file name will be Win10_1511_English_x64 or Win10_1511_SingleLang_English_x64 depending on the edition you selected in step 2.

Upgrade to Windows 10 with the ISO file.

1. Open the ISO file by double clicking on it. (You will have to use a software like WinRAR to open/extract the ISO on Windows 7.)
2. Double click setup.
3. Get important updates: Select Download and install updates and click Next.
4. Checking your PC: This will take some time.
5. License terms: Click Accept.
6. Choose what to keep: Select Keep personal files, apps and Windows settings and click Next.
7. Ready to install: Click Install.
8. Installing Windows 10: Your PC will restart several times. This might take a while.

• If it asks for Product Key in step 4, that means you are using the wrong ISO edition or your current Windows is not activated.
