📌[UPDATE 26/12/2023] Please note that Microsoft has recently stopped converting Windows 7 and 8/8.1 licenses to Windows 10 licenses.

I was generously gifted a PC my father rescued from an estate sale. It was running Windows 8 and I couldn't get it to log into my Microsoft account. I followed your video and am now running Windows 10 flawlessly. The activation came through automatically. 10 May 2024. I opted to not have the install save any files or apps because there wasn't anything of mine on the computer. Really excellent tutorial. Thank you so much!

It would be impossible for the average computer user to do what is taught in this video. I updated from 8.1 to 10Pro on July 21, 2024 using this thorough, professional and completely accurate video. There were a just two small differences in my 8.1 to the one in the video, but the solution was easy to figure out and the update was seamless and flawless. I watched the video several time before I made the upgrade. The I used another computer to follow the instruction video, pausing at each step of the way to be sure I was following the instructions carefully. Sometimes I backed up to confirm what I was doing and the end result is perfect. I have used other videos from Memory Tech to clean and speed up another computer and the results were likewise perfect! Thank you Memory Tech!!! Also, let me add that my license was automatically updated!!!

My old pc crashed and had to factory reset to windows 8. Tried many ways to get back to windows 10 but only succeeded by using your tutorial.Many thanks.Keep up the good work.

I am trying to update my Windows 8 machine. I get to the point just past agreeing to the terms/conditions then get something like "We can't tell if this PC has enough space to install Windows 10. Try restarting setup." I actually have about 200GB free on the hard drive. I've tried restarting and trying again, tried several times and same issue. Anyone know a fix?

THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU DONT KNOW HOW MUCH THIS HELPED ME❤❤❤

Windows 10 installed 5.7.2024. Works well. Thanks 👍

Hi, great video. I now only have one problem. After doing everything step by step as in your video, I installed windows 10 on my desktop. Everything works, but when I checked if my windows is activated, it says ' windows is not activated'. The windows 8.1 that I had on my desktop was activated. What do I do now? How can I activate my windows 10 upgrade?

Legend tried updating different way’s multiple times for hours and yours worked first time no issue 3.4.2024

For some reason when i try to open with the file to explorer it does not work

I upgraded my PC from Windows 8 to Windows 10 with the help of your video. But I faced a problem that my windows didn't activate automatically. So I tried putting my Windows 8 single language product key on it and it didn't work. I also tried via powershell it didn't work either. All it says is Error: 0x80072EE2 on a computer running Microsoft windows non core edition, run 'slui.exe 0x80072EE2' to display the error text. What should I do.? 😢 Even in windows 8 I faced Microsoft kinda problem. I couldn’t log in my Microsoft account, couldn’t use store. Now again I am facing this. What should I do.? 😢 HELP ME......😔

I need help after i installed windows 10 my mouse does not work

I got the file to finally download however, it will not open, any suggestions?

Was able to upgrade to windows 10 from 8 on 03 feb 2024, all thanks to you. but it took a lot of time as installation was getting stopped at 65% but after 4th time finally got upgraded. Thank you very much for your help. one thing my laptop got slower, any thing that can be done to boost speed?

i am really frustrated because i upgraded from genuine and original windows 8 and now my windows 10 home is inactivated ?! i tried to do manual activation by inserting my key product but it is not accepted !! why is that!!??

Hello! Fantastic video, When I try to open it with windows explore, it tells me I need to find an app from the app store? Most people can't get into the Windows app store. Any suggestions to help run the set up file? Cheers!

I have downloaded the files accordingly. But one problem. It appears that I am not permitted to mount the file for whatever reason. I followed your instructions thoroughly and I can't seem to solve it as of now

I was sceptical it would work as they removed the support for updating windows 8 -> 10 using your old key. However I guess Sweden wasnt that affected as it worked fine for me. Thank you for the guide!

mine 8.0 cannot upgrade even to 8.1

i was with you until "double click on setup" at which point nothing happened, i waited a few minutes of nothing and finally double clicked again got the first prompt,clicked yes and again nothing happened. it appears I just wasted 6GB of hard drive space because no matter how many times I click the "yes" prompt , that is the last thing that happens. Really bummed out.

I just read the comment and went to the link, real bummer especially since it will not delete,. thanks any wayi

hello, its a grate video. i just updated from w8 to w10 but my activation is not active... im just wondering why it didnt updated when it was updated to W10. and if i dont purchased a new product key what happens ?

my windows 10 installation wizard thing is getting stuck on open, it will only say “windows” so i closed it and now it wont open. what do i do?

It worked for me. Feb, 2024. Thanks a lot.

Very helpful. Thank you

I have followed your procedures and successfully downloaded the ISO file, however after the process of installation, and when it said it will restart the computer, it popped up the installation failed. It was the same result when I use the media creation tool. Could you please help and see if there are any solution. Thank you

why does mine have a product key, how do I do this?

It keep showing me , this app can't run on ur PC ,, to find apps for this PC, open the windows store.. please help... I have windows RT 8.1 surfa,, thanks

i have done as you said it has has been changed from windows 8.1 single language to windows 10 single language but it is showing not active what to do now.

hello .. I followed the instructions but when it comes to setup after downloading windows 10 it says that could not be loaded or is corrupt. please help thank you 🥺

Somehow my already activated windows 8.1 become unactivated when its successfully updated to windows 10 home by your method (thank you so much),is there's any way to activate it? The windows came pre activated with the laptop almost 10 years ago,so im out of luck knwoing what the product key was 😢

When I press the setup promt and it brings me to the yes and no tab I press yes and nothing happens? Any idea why
