First of all I would like to thank you for successfully installing Windows 10 to my old aging Inspiron 570. I was ready to buy a used desktop on Craigslist but was afraid I would lose all the records and then I planned on getting a new one on which Windows 10 already installed. I also thinking of buying the license and then I decided to watch KZfaq. I watched a lot but it did not interest me until I saw yours which is very concise and complete. I took my chance knowing nothing but just followed your step by step instructions and BOOM! Done, done, done. Thank you once again by helping not only me but other people.

Thanks to you, Dave, I now have a very fast computer with a fully activated Windows 10 operating system.

Thanks Dave! You saved my rear end on getting my taxes knocked out with Turbo Tax this year in May 2021! YES this still works as of 12 May 2021 as I successfully upgraded my Windows 7 Toshiba laptop to Windows-10! This allowed me to be able to continue to use Turbo Tax (as they cut a devils deal with Microsoft requiring Windows-10 to use) to knock out my taxes saving me $300 or so I am sure. I downloaded Windows-10 upgrade for free, Turbo Tax deal for $35 and filed state taxes for $25 - lot cheaper than hiring someone to do taxes or buying new computer with Windows-10. One note to you all out there that try this - I ran into one minor road block in that my update got stuck in the "Checking for Windows updates" phase of the upgrade and would not come out of it even after leaving it running all night. Found out this was probably due to pending software updates from my Windows-7 system. Fix Action is to run (in cmd term window) "services-msc" which pops up window where you can go and "Stop" Windows Update Service. Than go to C/Windows/Software-Distribution folder and delete all files in it. I went back and executed again the Windows-10 upgrade exe file and voila it worked and finished out successfully per rest of your directions! Appreciate you man - keep up the good work!

I did my installation today. This video helped a lot. It went smoothly and Dave's prompts are clear and accurate. You only really need to watch it once then you'll recognize each window as it comes up during the installation, and you'll know how to respond. Fantastic piece of work, Dave. Thank you,

Awesome! Thanks for the video, I randomly found it days before i was about to buy windows 10. Install went smooth, updating as I type this & the entire process went faster than watching the video twice.

I have a Dell XPS 8700. Upgraded to 12G of RAM a few years ago, and replaced the stock graphics card with an NVidia GeForce GTX 950. Since Win7 is expiring, I upgraded my HDD to an SSD, and this morning I performed an in place upgrade to windows 10. It works, and the system lists as "Activated with a digital License". Yay!

Thanks for the video. The link still works as of 2/27/2020 and was able to upgrade both of my computers to Windows 10. However on one computer Windows wasn't automatically activated after installation. I had to turn the computer off and back on. Afterwards Windows was activated.

Hi Dave, did this earlier today, worked like a charm. I had Windows 7 OEM installed, it also kept all my settings and apps. I thank you very much for your most informative video, keep up the good work 👍🏼.

Thanks so much for this fabulous tutorial on the upgrade. I followed along while I just did the upgrade. Took me about 3 hours but all is well here on this January 8th, 2020. The time consuming came with all the searching my computer had to do for the proper upgrades and drivers. It'll take a few times to get used to Windows 10. Can't wait till Microsoft makes it obsolete for the future 30 versions of Windows yet to come!
