MicrosoftWindowsWindows 10
Windows 7 reached End of Life (EOL) on 14th January 2020.
I upgraded a lot of my systems to Windows 10 for free.
But this offer was taken back by Microsoft on July 29, 2019.
I have an old system that was used forWindows Media Centerand testing.
I decided to try and upgrade that system to Windows 10.
You will need to launch the setup from inside Windows 7 to move the upgrade process.
Secondly, you will need Windows 7 to be activated with a genuine license.
So basically, you will get a non-activated copy of Windows 10.
Similarly, Windows 7 Home users will get Windows 10 Home.
Using Windows 7 after so many years seems so weird.
The default online window which came with the fresh install of Window 7 wasInternet Explorer 8.
After installation, most of theWindows controls will be reset includingFirewall rules.
You will not be able to use that license on any other system or hardware.
you’re able to alsofind Windows 10 product key after the upgrade.
Lets dive into the process.
First of all, we will need to set PowerShell to allow running scripts by issuing the following command.
Open PowerShell and execute the following command:
Now download the following file.
This is a PowerShell script with .PS1 extension.
If you are unsure, just copy the above-mentioned code and paste is in a notepad file.
Save it as upgrade.ps1.
after you grab the script file, right-click it and selectRun with PowerShell.
Say yes to the confirmation dialog and the prompt will disappear.
This process may take a while so hey dont restart the system while the upgrade is in progress.
The only difference is in the process.
This method can be useful for those who want to upgrade several computers at the same time.
