DOWNLOAD_WINDOWS_10

Windows 10, the latest operating system from the Microsoft has been officially out yesterday. Many people who made a reservation for the windows 10 has already got the confirmation message for the upgrade, But still there are millions waiting for an official upgrade confirmation from the Microsoft. So we've decided to help such people.

If you are a part of the people who reserved a copy of Windows 10 but haven’t gotten the upgrade prompt yet, here’s a solution. By this, you need not to wait for the official upgrade message from the Microsoft. Forget the waiting line and get the upgrade right now !

Before we get into the matter, Do you know the features that windows 10 is offering?  If not, kindly have a check-up on our article: Windows 10 Review, All the things you need to know !
Before proceeding to the tutorial, we strongly recommend you to back-up all your data ! Even if windows is giving a provision to upgrade to windows 10 without losing your personal files or third party software (we never made a backup and didn't missed a single file), we won't recommend you to take a chance.
You can have a hands-on with windows 10 by two methods. One method is to upgrade directly from your windows 7 or windows 8. And the other method is to perform a clean install windows 10 from a USB flash drive or a DVD.
  

How to upgrade to windows 10 from windows 7 or windows 8.

  1. As we mentioned earlier, Back up all your data!
  2. In order to perform the windows 10 upgrade manually you need to download Microsoft’s Media Creation Tool from this page
  3. Launch the tool after the download gets completed .
  4. Then from the opening screen, Select the option saying “Upgrade This PC” and click Next.
  5. Then the tool will start to download windows 10 (Check the image above). So you need to be patient (It might take more than one hour depending on the speed of your internet connectivity).
  6. After the tool finishes downloading windows 10, your computer will get rebooted and run the upgrade (This may take sometime, Sit back and relax..). When it finishes, you can find your computer is smiling with the Windows 10, installed. (Heads up dude!).
If you want to check whether the windows 10 is activated, just go to Start >Settings >Update & Security > About, it will show the “activated” message. Hooray !

Disclaimer Note: We’ve tested the aforesaid procedure in a computer that we made a windows 10 upgrade reservation; If you haven’t reserved a copy of Windows 10 for the computer you’re heading to upgrade, we are not sure about the procedure to works fine. So we are not responsible for any “unexpected” to happen (Even if there is not a chance to) .

Clean installation of windows 10 from any external devices is the other option if you didn’t made any upgrade reservation yet. So if you want to try out a clean installation of windows 10 from a USB stick or a DVD disc, we recommend you to read our article on How to install windows 10 from a USB flash drive or DVD.
