How to Upgrade Windows 7/8.1 to Windows 10!

Windows 10 Update
Finally the Windows 10 era has begun. After a long wait and with the huge expectation Microsoft has release there final and most upgraded Windows version on on 29th July, 2015. As the Microsoft promised earlier that they are groin to give the Windows 10 upgrade free to the current Windows 7 and 8.1 users. But you can't download Windows 10 instantly. Because Microsoft is slowly slowly rolling out the update in 190 countries, and it may take some time to reach your device.


 But Don't Worry, Have Smile on Your Face. Because in this post I'm gonna end of your Waiting. Today I'm gonna show how you can Upgrade your Windows 7 or 8.1 OS to latest Windows 10 manually.


Eligibility for Windows 10:

Not all devices will get the Free Windows 10 Upgrade. If you have registered for free Windows 10 Upgrade or if you are running on Windows 7 or 8.1 then most probably you are eligible for the Free Upgrade to Windows 10.


System Requirement:

  • Minimum 1 GHz Processor. (Dual Core or better)
  • Minimum 2 GB RAM.
  • Minimum 16 GB Free Space on a Partition.

There are two Methods by which you will be able to perform the Windows 10 Upgrade. Method 1 is universal for all PC users, and will commonly download the Windows 10, and Method 2 is specially made for your PC. Both are completely safe and verified, and of course both the ways are official methods to upgrade Windows 10.



Additional Requirement:

  • A Stable Internet Connection. Prefer unlimited connections, as the size may be up to 3 GB.
  • Sufficient Space on your internal/external storage where you are downloading it. [3 GB At Least]
  • A blank USB / DVD if you need to create backup media files. This is completely optional.

Before starting, Check for updates once. Go to Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Update and check once for any available updates.You may have gotten the Windows 10 to download right there, though, chances are very rare. Still, be sure of that.


Method - 1: (Force Download Windows 10 Manually)

In this Method you will have to use a tool to get Windows 10 Upgrade. Collect the Tool from the link given at the bottom of this post. This tool will help to back up the installation file and save the installation media into USB or DVD Disks, though it is optional. We will download the Update Tool and Run it on our PC. It will check for upgrades and download it.


  • Download the Windows 10 Upgrade tool from the links given below.
  • Then RUN this Tool.
  • It will ask you Upgrade this PC or Create Update Media for another PC. Choose the first option to upgrade your PC.
  • Click Next and Follow the onscreen instructions to upgrade your PC. It will start downloading your software for Windows 10.

Note: It may or may not need your Windows Registration Key. If this works then you are good to go. And, this should work. Still, if it does not work, try out the Method 2.


Method - 2: (Force Download Windows 10 Manually)

This method will follow official windows upgrade procedure, with a tweak. Microsoft recommends this by default and your scheduled upgrade would come via this method only, but we are just applying a simple tweak and speeding up the process making it available instantly. Let’s start.


  • Go to Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Update. Keep this window open.
Check Windows Update

  • Now open File Explorer > Windows (C:) > Windows > Software Distribution > Download. You will see some files and folders.
  • Backup all these files into some other drive and delete everything there. To do this step, create a new folder on another drive and copy everything from here and paste here. Next, delete all files and folders from here. Your backup will prevent you from accidental loss of files and help you restore it like previous.
  • Note: You may need administrator permissions for this. Grant it.
  • Now open Command Prompt in Administrator Mode. To do this, Right click on Command Prompt and Click Run as Administrator. You need Administrator permissions for this.
  • On command prompt type this text: wuauclt.exe /updatenow
  • Note: A space should be after wuauclt.exe
  • Press Enter. BOOM! You are almost done! Now check the Windows Update Window you opened in the First step on this Method - 2

If everything is OK You will find it either already started downloading Windows 10 or is ready to download it. Start Downloading and wait patiently to finish!
