Here's how you can still get a free Windows 10 upgrade | preparation process

▶️ thank you for visiting my channel & (hopefully) watching my video. More links & info below in this video description - click "show more" and you may even find the answer to life, the universe and everything.🔻 ▶️ NOTE: Legal Windows 7, 8, 8.1 Activated license required. This is not a "hack" - In this video, I show you how to prepare the USB media for the upgrade as well as recommendations. In the next, I will show you the entire installation / upgrade process. ▶️ Upgrade Process: https://youtu.be/8h5UQFRN3o0 This works best on machines that have the Windows 7, 8, etc licenses in the BIOS - so brand names like HP, DELL, Acer, Lenovo, etc where Windows is pre-loaded, but it has worked on clone machines as well. ▶️ This works with Windows 7, 8, 8.1 - but, you MUST own a legal copy of Windows 7 Pro for this to work. I assume Microsoft is preparing for the "service subscription" roll-out, so when that happens you will pay monthly to enable security updates and features - hence, I think they left this active. ▶️ Please back up all your data before proceeding - I have never had a failure or lost data, but I take no responsibility for any of this - you attempt this at your own risk. ▶️ HOW TO upgrade to Windows 10 from 7, 8, 8.1 if you have a legal license for these: https://www.zdnet.com/article/heres-how-you-can-still-get-a-free-windows-10-upgrade/ ▶️ Download Windows 10 Media Creation Tool: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 🔻 ▶️ #howto #hacking #windows ▶️ ❔ Please feel free to engage!
