It can easily be installed by those who have a license for Windows 7 or 8.1, and who previously reserved. But an independent attempt to establish new version  system over the "pirate" can end badly - the new system simply will not work, and the computer will stand like a useless pile of iron and plastic.

How to start the system update

The process of updating, after which, instead of the old OS on the computer, a completely new one will appear, often passes after it receives a message that it has become available. However, I do not advise you to wait, it is better to run the update before the notification arrives.

Microsoft is not responsible for any damage to you. In full agreement. This agreement and the terms contained in the web links listed in this agreement are the entire agreement for the software and any such additions, updates and services. You can view this agreement after your software is launched by going to Settings - System - About the program inside the software. You agree that you will read the terms and conditions before using the software or services, including any related terms.

This is really important, as even developers recognize that the message may not appear on all computers. In addition, the automatic procedure is available only for owners of Windows 7 and 8.1 "home" and "professional" versions, as well as versions "for all languages."

If a so-called "clean", licensed version is installed on the computer, then the installation is extremely simple. There are two main options:

You understand that with the help of software and services you will ratify this agreement and related terms. This agreement also has information links. Links containing notices and mandatory conditions. A limited warranty begins when the first user purchases the software and lasts 90 days. If your local law does not allow you to exclude implied warranties, then any implied warranties, warranties or conditions will be retained only during the limited warranty period and are limited as much as your local law allows.

  • Go to the notification area, and click on the "get Windows 10" button, after which the automatic update process will start;
  • On the official Microsoft resource, the Installation Media Creation Tool for the 10th version of the system. The application updates the computer, or downloads files from which you can later create an iso image, apply it to create a boot flush or disk, and install the system "from zero" manually.

After installation, no matter which method you choose, all data and software will remain in the computer's memory, there may be only some problems with the drivers that can be fixed by downloading their updated versions. Some programs can also suddenly "state" their incompatibility with the new system. To install windows 10 from the official site you need to download the Russian version of the application, the developers offer a version for 32-bit and 64-bit systems before you start the download, be sure that the program corresponds to the characteristics of the computer, otherwise nothing good will come of it.

If your local law requires a more limited warranty period, despite this agreement, then a longer period will apply, but you can only restore funds that are authorized by this agreement. The manufacturer or installer may also repair or replace additions, updates and replacement of software or provide reimbursement of the amount you paid for them, if any. These are your only remedies against breach of warranty.

This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state or from country to country. Some states and countries do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential or other damages, so these limitations or exceptions may not apply to you. Contact the manufacturer or installer at the address or at the toll-free number provided on your device to learn how to obtain software warranty service.

Download: MediaCreationTool

Running the application, you will have to choose whether to update the PC from the downloaded distribution, or install the system from the backup copy. In the second case, the update procedure will not differ from the usual, not counting a few missing steps.

Update: how the procedure goes

When installing with a special program, just click "Update your computer now" so that your computer immediately starts updating. The program will start the download process, check the received data, and create a separate media directly on the computer board. You will not have to wait for long, once all the procedures have been completed, installation of a new version of the system will begin. If the installation was performed using a redundant copy, no additional download is required.

Latest version of OS

The American software giant gives free of charge to the owners of old licenses. Completely redesigned in search engine, which users can also find in the "Start" menu. The search works not only with installed applications  and data stored on the hard disk, but also with the network - so users can respond to requests via the Internet without having to launch a web browser.

On one monitor, they can be easily attached to all four corners, so the screen is divided into four quarters. Similarly, the screen can be automatically split into two equal parts or one more and three less. Today, smart phones compete well with laptops.

Smartphones will be able to function as a classic computer. And how simple it is, it just works. Although everything will work on hardware for smartphones, the application will appear on the monitor, as if you were running it on a classic PC.

Old and slow computers are supported

Of course, this is possible only when choosing the so-called universal applications. So, if you want to use all the graphics and other functions of the new generation of the operating system, you usually do not need to buy more powerful components or, in some cases, even the whole new computer. Of course, the more powerful the components, the smoother work with the news. Some functions may not work or the installation may not complete successfully.



Once the agreement is signed, the program will begin to search for all available updates, and it can take a lot of time, so you will have time to go for a cup of coffee. After the best option is found, you can choose whether to install a new version of the old system, saving personal data and applications, the list of those that are to be saved can be manually adjusted. The procedure will start immediately after you click on the "Install" button. Close all important applications and documents before this, because the program will open the window to the full screen. After a while, the system will be reinstalled.

Install the automatic installation antivirus software. For more information, see the website of the antivirus vendor. You can not refuse this service. The applications are sold separately. To do this, contact your software provider.

To verify the identity of a person requires special equipment, such as an infrared camera. If such equipment is not installed on your computer, the option to configure face authentication is not available.



After the reboot, a window will appear in which you can monitor the progress of the installation, and do not panic when the system starts rebooting again - this is the normal part of the procedure. The procedure will take a lot of time, in time it may seem that the computer is frozen, but do not give in to this error. After the system is updated, it will boot, and you can go to the selected account. At this stage, it remains only to go through:

You can configure fingerprint authentication in the Settings application on computers with a built-in fingerprint reader.

To activate this function, you need video drivers and wireless network. This computer does not meet the hardware requirements of the precision multipoint board.

  • Login to the system. The last action after which the system is activated, and can be used. After the above steps, you only need to enter the password, and enter the selected account.



Possible problems

Of course, everything that I have outlined above looks simple in words, in fact, the installation is often fraught with problems, and the flow of questions on the topic: "What to do?" In thematic forums does not run low. Therefore, I will try to describe the most common mistakes so that you can find a solution to the problem yourself.

Often you can not upgrade because the icons for upgrading to Windows 10 simply do not exist on the taskbar. In this situation, it's easiest to just download the installation utility. However, by simple manipulation, you can return the icon to the place:

  1. Open command line  on behalf of the administrator;
  2. Enter wuauclt.exe / updatenow, and press Enter;
  3. After a couple of minutes, log in to the System Update Center - the opened window will show the process of downloading the update, once it is complete - you can proceed with the installation.
  4. Perhaps a black screen appeared when start windows 10

Error 80240020 can confuse many users, because by itself this digital code does not say anything. Without going into details, I'll tell you how to cope with it:


  The installation program can also work with errors, in which case the problem can be solved in several ways, although they do not always work:

All the suggestions above did not have any effect? Try running the update from the ISO disk. You can also obtain the finished image using the Microsoft download program. After installing the disk, you need to run the setup.exe file, and start the update. Another common problem for those who update the licensed version of the system - after receiving new data, it is not activated. You do not have to worry about this, just the Microsoft server is overloaded, and can not process your OS request at this time.

What else do you need to know?

As I said, most users use unlicensed systems, in which case after the update, unpleasant messages from the system that it is not genuine can appear. To get rid of them you need to remove the activator.

The procedure is quite simple:

  • Enter the "Administration" window;
  • Open the "Services";
  • Disable the "Software Protection" service, and all the tasks that are there;
  • Log in to System32, and delete the key files (the file name depends on the type of system);
  • Re-enable the protection service.

After the installation, there may be problems with the operation of the drivers and programs, but personally I was only denied video card drivers. The problem was solved quite quickly - you just had to download their new version from the original resource. However, there were also difficulties, it was required to stop all tasks related to the work of drivers, and remove the old ones through "installation and removal of programs", only after that I was able to install new ones.

There may be a desire to delete the update, it is not enough, it may not like, it is inconvenient for the user, and so on. Developers give a similar decision for a month. You can perform a full restoration of the old system by clicking on the notification button (bottom right corner of the screen), selecting the item "All settings", go to "Upgrade and Security", to "Restore" and to "Back to Windows 8.1" (or 7, depending on the version).

Conclusion - is it worth it to install an update?

A new development from Microsoft was associated with unusual steps for Microsoft. First, the company behaved very openly, which in itself is unusual. Users got the opportunity to go through a lot of testers to pre-assemblies, a lot of bugs were discovered, wishes and remarks were taken into account. This approach has always been justified, so the new system has received many positive feedback. No time to upgrade is not a problem, there is another method how to update windows 7 to windows 10 for free after July 29.

We again got the start menu, got to use the voice assistant Cortana, basically new browser, called to leave in the past morally obsolete Internet Explorer. Thus, the new OS from Microsoft is likely to be able to repeat the success of its previous Windows, and will allow developers to retain the leading position in the software market for computers. It is up to you to decide whether to take this opportunity.

The article turned out to be extensive and provides answers to many common questions. Now you know how to install Windows 10 from the official site for free. I hope you were useful. All questions are asked in the comments and do not forget to share materials with friends on social networks.

Sincerely, Victor

After the release of the new OS from the giant IT-Microsoft, many users, accustomed to the interface, were somewhat lost. New system  fundamentally different from the old one. And not only appearance. There were new functions, which had never been heard before. For many users it is now difficult to understand the new OS. In order to help such people and written this article.

Appearance

The appearance is much like the interface "". If you used this system, there should be no problems with the interface. And if you switched to the "top ten" straight from the "seven", then some explanation is required.
  The fact is that the developers decided to abandon the overloaded visual effects and therefore the slow interface of the "seven". Now in fashion, minimalism and flat buttons. In general, the interface looks quite friendly. Problems with it should not be. The only thing that can cause difficulties is an unusual arrangement of some elements. For example, in the Start menu it is very difficult to find the control panel. To make it easier, you can just click on the start icon with the right mouse button and select the desired item from this menu. The new "Start" menu can also shock the users of the "Seven". There is nothing you can do here. It is necessary to get used.

New Features

One of the innovations of Windows 10 is the proprietary terminal Windows PowerShell   Allows you to perform all operations in the system with the help of manual command input. Most users do not need it at all. Comfortably with him themselves will feel only those who moved to the "top ten" with Linux systems. There it is a common thing.

Unfortunately, the voice assistant Cortana in our country is not supported. Therefore, to assess the potential of this novelty, we can not. It is possible that with time, with some next update of the system, it will be available to us. But not yet.

Another innovation of the "dozens" is the availability of additional desktops, on which the user can place all the right programs. Programs are placed open, and the user during the work moves between them using a special key combination.

System Settings

Many questions can cause an unusual menu item "Start" - System Settings. This is a kind of analog control panel. It is divided into several categories. Each of these categories has its own subcategories and separate sections.

System. This includes screen settings, notifications and actions, applications and features, multitasking, tablet mode, power settings and other system settings. In the personalization section, the settings of the desktop wallpaper and the lock screen, the color of the taskbar and in general everything related to the appearance of the system are placed. The device section includes printers and scanners, Bluetooth devices, mice, USB devices and autorun options. And so on. Through the "Options" you can adjust almost every inch of the system. However, if you need to "dig" in the system services, you will have to contact the good old control panel.

Conclusion

In general, the "dozen" is not so terrible. Much worse was the "eight" with the lack of a menu "Start" and an incomprehensible interface "Metro". And to the "top ten" you can easily get used to. Over time, you'll even like it. In general, it is impossible to describe all the nuances of the new OS. It takes some time to sort it out by yourself. But everything is intuitive there.
