Windows 10 has been released, there have been a lot of articles on Windows 10 related articles, but, if you have not been concerned about Windows 10, or before and had not planned to upgrade Windows 10, today suddenly changed his mind, so we are here once again talk about, how to get a free upgrade Windows 10, and which computers qualify.
Which computer is eligible for upgrade eligibility?
Microsoft will be eligible for new or existing Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 (July 29 and will not release updated Windows Mobile) devices, providing a first-year free upgrade to Windows 10 discount. Upgrading Windows device until after qualifying to Windows 10, Microsoft said it would continue to keep it up to date in the life cycle of the device.
Which means you can not upgrade?
Microsoft said that although most of the device can be upgraded, but due to hardware factors, the available features some devices may vary.
But can not be upgraded versions include: Windows 7 Enterprise, Windows 8 / 8.1 Enterprise and Windows RT / RT 8.1.
OK, I qualify, how do I get a free upgrade?
If you meet the above promotion criteria, then how to get a free upgrade? It also has several different conditions:
Status 1: If your computer has been updated to the latest
Suppose you use Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and has been updated to the latest, the upgrade process is the simplest formula. Because before you should already have a Windows Update button on the toolbar of work.
(No small representation of how to do this: If you have not this little icon appear in the correct steps, some systems this happens very Nice to meet you, so Microsoft has a very complex step solution to teach you how to solve this problem)
When you click this little icon, as long as the time is up, your computer can download and install a new system.
When called "time to"? Because Microsoft is taking the push updates released in batches, so it is unclear what their batch rule is that even if your friends can get the update, you do not necessarily been drawn in the same group, and according to previous information, push updates The time may be separated by a day or even week. Therefore, in addition, also there is no other way.
Status 2: If your computer is not up to date
If you do not get Windows icon 10, then you need to take to update a little longer.
If you use Windows 7, then you have to be updated to SP1.
If you are using Windows 8, you must update to Windows 8.1, but also to Windows after updating the store, you can get the update to see a download icon.
When you update to the latest version, you should be able to go back to the status of a wait for the update.
Status 3: If your computer did ......
If you run Windows Vista, Windows XP (... which will not still ME, right?) Suddenly want to upgrade to Windows 10?
So you have to buy genuine Windows 10 retail version. However, in addition to buying the software outside, you have to consider your hardware meets the upgrade.
Even if you meet the hardware, but I suggest you think there is another mode: to buy a new computer. Because now built a new computer may be greater than the price of Windows 10 to buy the retail version of Windows 10 is not much more expensive, and the effectiveness of your computer should be more than a few years ago to well.
Status 4: If you are using Windows RT
Sorry, there is no way to upgrade. However, Microsoft has said that they expected to be launched RT specific update in November.
Well, the next step?
