There are three possibilities. Or do not use Windows. Or already upgraded to Windows 10. Or in the middle of the night you wake a nightmare in which, on July 30, the little icon to update 10 mocks you telling yourself: You missed receive a free product that costs US $ 160, Lero, Lero!
The fact is that today there are officially four days to take advantage of this offer that Microsoft started a year ago and is perhaps interested you accept.
any case, doubt among lost a gift of $ 160 and that leaves you without compu gift is pressing; I know how it feels. At home there is only one Windows machine (the other four use some sort of Linux). Armé the PC, I keep mostly to run, about five years ago and put a Windows 7. decorously I avoided 8 (I had it here in the newspaper and I did not add anything) and since July 29, 2015 began to show invitation to upgrade to Windows 10. And he continued to do with that granitic persistence of machines, transforming treat coercion. He said without much adornment: I was sick
I had already made the upgrade to Windows 10 on your computer daily and had turned out more or less.. But the situation at home was different. Just imagine: that machine was walking without the slightest crack and had years of tuning. I was not worried backup, which is automatic, but would have to reinstall all applications? Go back to set? Worse still: use some kind of wizard to migrate? God save me.
But curiosity is stronger.
it will be three months, I realized that long ago that Windows 7 is not installed updates. I looked at the history and, indeed, the machine had long since not receive updates. True, the main support had expired more than a year ago, in January 2015. But neither came security updates.
Rare. And dangerous. I will say that I was looking for an excuse to spend 10, and yes, it is true, what I can say. OK so I gave him the happy update and about half an hour was 10 on that team, uneventfully. Would be a nuisance having to reinstall all programs, but at least it would no longer support the coercive cartelito.
It was not long before problems arise. As every time you install a new operating system, I used to take programs that are no longer needed, order a bit, that kind of thing.
No one expects you to remove an old accessory program leave you without a machine. But it was exactly what happened. Without going into details, I uninstalled software to monitor the network and when rebooted, goodbye, Windows was gone. So, poof, without warning.
In fact, he had not disappeared, but refused to boot. With some effort, I left the ford, granted. But Microsoft friends, for a significant portion of users with a situation of this kind ends with the show
If it is a clone, you have to call the technician.; if it is a brand machine, you have to carry the team to the official service. You stay at least a week without your tool. It is not good to use the euphemism fashion.
As new (or almost).
scene: my good solid PC, which took about five years on day and night, never hung only had to restart every so often for some updating, had been mancada hopelessly after removing a minor programita
OK, what do you do? One of the new features of Windows 10 is that, like a smartphone, you can restore the computer to factory. With an additional: You can choose to keep personal files
As had not a little desire to put the DVD and install everything from scratch, and suspected that, deep down, return to the state. factory would be about the same, I chose that option and after a while had the 10 again on screen and my files intact. Point to Microsoft. But, anyway, I looked askance at new Windows and said, You know that you’re the most fragile thing I tried in my life, no?
To be entirely fair, the fact is that, out of this mishap, 10 has been behaving ever since with decent strength. No wonder my Windows 7 and got four additional years of support (ie, updates) without paying a penny.
10 has his stuff, though.
For example, when I open a folder many files (say, over 50, no big deal), it is doing something, I do not know what, and displays the message bullish’re working on it. Yes, 35 years ago are working on it, boys. I have seen this problem on multiple machines and is a little bizarre that at this point we can not read the directory of a local drive almost instantly.
Out of this, 10 I like it. I said. Now, is it worth upgrading?
Earnings.
A friend who, before the imminent end the offer of Microsoft, consulted me last Saturday whether to upgrade, put the emphasis where it matters, strictly speaking. I put in the chat: Am I going to lose something important if I stay in Windows 7? Or, put another way, I win something happening to me 10? It is all that counts, because if what you get is running out machine, much that is free, does not seem to be good business.
First, and with 350 million devices using the new system , it appears that upgrading to 10 is not a high-risk mission. But that matters little if at roulette bit touches you just vos problematic installation.
So, before you ask yourself whether or not to upgrade, the first step is to make sure that the backup is up to date and create an installation media. That is, a DVD or a flash drive with Windows 10.
If all goes very wrong, you’ll be able to try to reinstall the system with the DVD or flash drive. In many cases, you’ll need an activation key; the Windows 7 and 8 serve. Not more have on hand the original disks of these previous Windows, if 10 also goes from zero.
Note less the margin. It may not you dare proceed with a clean reinstall, but it would be useful to know what steps the technician should give: use the official Microsoft tool to download and create a disc or flash drive setup; use the activation code Windows 7 or 8 that you had on the machine you are using; and for no reason clean up the mess with a copy of Windows without a license.
In the worst case scenario, you will again have Windows 7 or 8 newly installed on your computer and you’re just going to have lost some time.
If a machine brand, especially if it’s a notebook, not a bad idea to ask the official support if that model is compatible with 10 and eventually follow their instructions for the upgrade.
one more thing: one thing is that the compatibility report tell you that all is well and quite another to be all right once installed Windows 10. the good news is that after updating there is a grace month to return to the version that you had previously installed. It is therefore important that once you have 10 try all the hardware and software you need to work, lest thing you take a surprise when that happened that month grace period.
But let’s be optimistic. If all goes well, on the other hand is most likely, is what you win going to Windows 10?
Since it is impossible to anticipate how it will respond a particular team this update, my best advice it is to be very careful with production equipment. If that Windows 7 or 8.1 are those that use to work and you do not have spare car, my tactics would be:
