Microsoft Windows 10 Installation

Introduction:

Windows 10 launched on 29-July-2015, Microsoft is released its new OS in waves. Furthermore, some users are having trouble with Windows. If you have a genuine copy of Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, Microsoft’s Windows 10 Media Creation Tool, and an Internet connection. This process will take a bit longer than going through Windows Update. It’s the manual version of everything the “Get Windows 10″ tool is supposed to handle for you. Back up everything and make sure you’re ready.
If you’re running a 32-bit copy of Windows, download the tool from here. If you’re running a 64-bit copy of Windows, download the tool from here. If you’re not sure, hold the Windows key and press the pause/break button. See what it says under “System type.”

You should see the following after downloading and launching the tool:

Click on Next button and Windows 10 will start to download, which may take a while based on your network connection speed.

The verification of the download should be quick.

The Windows 10 installer is now being put together.

Once download completed, now the Windows 10 installer is being loaded.

The Windows 10 installer will do a few checks.

And more.

Click on “Accept” on this screen.

This part was automatic for me, but either way you’ll be given the choice again later.

Microsoft still needs to check if there are updates you may need before the installation.

And again, a few more checks.

Finally, the preparation is complete.

You can change what the Windows 10 installer will keep, but be warned that if you hit “Back” you’ll have to go through the updates and checks again.

Once started installation the first screen you should see, before your computer restarts:

The first step is copying files. You’ll then get a warning about a restart:

And then you’ll be on this screen for probably the longest part of the upgrade process:

After this is all done, just type in your password, hit Next, and go through the standard process of setting up the new OS.

Before long you should be back at your Windows desktop, as if nothing has changed. But a lot has: You now have Windows 10!
