The user only needs to choose the appropriate method for him and then simply follow the sequential steps described in this article.

The first option is recommended for owners of computers with Windows 7 starter, while they are guaranteed to get the brand new Windows 10, which is completely devoid of errors and malicious files that are usually inherited over the years by Windows 7. The owners of other versions of Windows 7 can go to the new method through the update, and at the same time save all available information in the computer’s memory, as well as some utilities installed in the old system.

5.            When the user finishes copying the data to the USB stick, the user will see a menu with three fields that must be filled in and click “Next”;

6.            Windows 7 starter PC users can install the Home modification, and if the “Sevens” maximum configuration is installed, then Windows 10 PRO;
