How to Upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 for Free

If you're a Windows user, you may be familiar with the idea that you can upgrade any Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 system to Windows 10 for free. Well, Windows technically stopped giving away those upgrades almost four years ago. But thanks to some amazing internet sleuths, a way to still upgrade for free exists.

Ed Bott from ZDNet has been continually testing and as of late April 2020, it still works. This is especially useful for Windows 7 users, as support for Windows 7 has finally ended. If you're still running Windows 7 or 8.1, then keep reading to find out how to upgrade your operating system.

As a quick note: this method does not involve and pirating and is still done through the Windows website. Also, you won't need to fish up an old product key. If you do have an old product key handy though, you'll still be able to upgrade that way.

The biggest thing we recommend is to make sure you have everything backed up. This is incredibly important in general if you have crucial information or documents on your computer. Also, make sure you make note of any drivers you'll need once you upgrade for external hardware. When upgrading from Windows 7, there's no guarantee that any of the apps you've downloaded will transfer over, but there is an option to transfer over your files. Lastly, make sure to disconnect external drives and hardware as having them in can sometimes trigger bugs in the installation.

Now you're ready to download the new OS. Firstly, go to the Windows 10 downloads page and hit Download Tool Now. Once the download is complete a dialogue box will pop up and click Upgrade This PC Now, then Next to run it (don't forget you can choose to keep your files after this step). Once the upgrade is finished, you'll be able to confirm your license under Settings > Update and Security > Activation.

Now you'll be able to enjoy Windows 10 on your computer!

We reached out to Rich and his team at Computer Geek in July 2021. We were in desperate need of help because our former website design agency left us hanging with major website issues that needed immediate attention. Rich and his team were extremely helpful and quick to come to our rescue! They have helped us with numerous projects that have helped our SEO. Our sales have increased 30% since coming to Computer Geek. We've been working with them for about nine months now and are very pleased with their response time and helpful manner. Rich has proven himself to be trustworthy and dependable. We feel valued as a customer and look forward to continuing a relationship with Computer Geek.

I would certainly like to recommend that anyone pursing maintenance for a website to contact The Computer Geek. I have been using another company to do some maintenance on my site with moderate success. There were issues that were evidently beyond what could be handled by them. However, the professionals at The Computer Geek had them addressed and rectified in no time at all. The Computer Geek approached all of my requests focusing on my goals and the needed performance. Then, once versed, presented me with a very reasonable price. Once the projects were in motion, I found that the tasks were achieved before I expected, with professional results. Also, in one instance where The Computer Geeks brought an issue to my attention that I would have likely overlooked. This was accompanied by a recommendation on how to solve the issue. Overall The Computer Geeks exceeded my expectations!

I have a important website dedicated to the local high school going back nearly 100 years. It was suddenly infected with a virus. Rich at Computer Geek fixed it within an hour. I cannot recommend him enough. I hope it's not for a long time, but the next time I need help, Rich is who I'm gonna call.

A note to let you know how much I appreciate your team's work. Justin is on top of quickly solving any issues, making changes, reliable. Finding you was one of the luckiest days of my 74 years.

We discovered an issue with our Oscommerce cart processing images. It is about 14 years old and heavily modified. Looking on google for some expert help I found Rich and reached out to him. We received a response the same day. The next day his team was working on our issue and was able to solve it within a few hours. Price was reasonable and we are very appreciative to find a competent and professional oscommerce expert to help successfully troubleshoot our issue.

I'm very new to the whole idea of having a website / blog. I used Bluehost.com and WordPress.org to create Thepredatorhunter.com and then managed to wreck it. On a Sunday morning I opened chat box with Rich and within a few hours everything was fantastic! This isn't just a company for big biz, if your new and small, The Computer Geek can help you out. In trouble? Stop fretting and start typing in the chat box. You will be glad you did!
