Thanks sire!
Last question, during installation, the option keep files app and all settings is meant to keep all files intact but I heard even with the option it's still a clean install. Pls anybody done this, thus it clean install even after choosing keep all files and apps.

Easiest method to get windows 10 : If you have a legit/activated windows 8.1 then head over to Microsoft's page and download the windows media creation tool here -----> https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 , launch it and tick the 'upgrade this pc' option then you're good to go.

PS: will it delete my files ? No it won't. If you're scared despite , you could back up your important stuffs.

That means we don't have to go through what the op posted on the first page before upgrading , ryt??
Just go with the default option which is to keep personal files, installed apps and settings. You should be good with that.

can anyone help me out. ive been trying to upgrade to win10 from win 7, and it got to 92% of progress it been loading for like 3hrs without advancing in the progress level...


My internet is working fine, dont no wats wrong...
Check on your internet properly. You can disconnect and reconnect, it won't stop. Infact, mine got disconnected and reconnected more than 20 times before getting to 100%. What I did was that, when I discovered it didn't count a percent for some minutes, I would disconnect and reconnect and it would continue.

my windows is windows 7 and 32bit............................ wen i tried updating, it said it cant , bcoz mine was 32bit and not 64bit........ Please is there anyone here that have an idea of what i am to do , to have d windows 10 working
That is because you are trying to upgrade with 64bit version. Check on the 32bit option there and it would go through.

Who says Windows don't update with proxies? All my updates (8.1) before upgrading was through SS. Works like a breeze. As long as IE is configured accordingly, other apps (Windows apps) take their configs from IE.

The media cteation would ask you where you wanna save it, that's if you downloaded it as ISO. If you downloaded as an upgrade, go to your Computer, drive C or any driver Windows was installed, you will see something like this: $Windows BT... Something like that sha. The files are stored inside that folder in your C drive.

puresoul1:
clean install,
You should do an upgrade first, then after activating it, you can then do a clean install and it would still be activated by Microsoft. The upgrade and first activation is very vital because that is what will pave the way for you doing a clean install on that same machine in the future without bothering yourself about cracks and all that for activation.

Okay. Can you make use of your PC? I mean, can you minimise the pop-up and still use your PC? And does it function as usual?
