Win7/8.1 seamless straight Win10 Build 9926 tutorial

Microsoft announced at this week's conference that all Windows 7 and Windows 8 users will be able to upgrade to Windows 10 for free in the second half of this year. Now, Microsoft has also officially released the latest January technology preview update Build 9926 version. With the arrival of the new version, Microsoft's upgrade test for the old system is also in progress. For Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 system users, foreign media Neowin today brings a new way to go directly to Windows 10, the Windows update. Foreign media said that this upgrade is very simple and allows the system to be upgraded directly to the new Windows version just like regular updates.

Of course, the prerequisite for upgrading to Windows 10 Preview is that you must first become a Windows Insider member. After the registration is successful and the device can be updated to the new system, you can manually check the update. The foreign media recommends using the “Control Panel”, but the “Settings” option should also check for updates.

According to foreign media Neowin, this upgrade process takes a long time, especially Microsoft server is under high load pressure, it is estimated that the speed will be slower, because "Windows update" is generally not Will occupy all system resources. Therefore, remind users who intend to upgrade Windows 7/8.1 to Windows 10 through "Windows Update", and refer to the full 6 hours of update time spent by foreign media Neowin, we must be prepared for long waits.

After completing the update download and successfully unpacking, you need to restart your computer and the computer will enter the regular update phase. After the update is complete, you will find that all the previously installed programs are still working, and most of the previous settings are basically saved, so the entire update has almost completed a seamless upgrade. Of course, this is under the premise of not triggering the Build 9926 version of the bug.

Foreign Media Neowin found that this new update method also exists in the Windows 10 Build 9926 version, and the ability to upgrade to the new build version is now integrated into “Windows Updates. It seems that Microsoft is clearly planning to allow all users to seamlessly upgrade to the latest version of Windows 10. I don't know if Windows 7/8.1 users who have updated their systems have successfully upgraded to Windows 10 in this new way?
