Original Windows

People with no credentials to use Windows must wait for new release or have
to go for android tablet? This question causes me curiosity because I had
Microsoft credentials and password now I don't know If they accept my
question about this network. They said it would be free for a year but only
for people who has password for Microsoft email. So I'm with local account
and they ask for Microsoft id or contract is over. Even if I order Windows
DVD they need the hardware configuration to be sure if it has the minimal
requirements even if we are in another country, we need phone number and
address and real name. In the other hand android tablet is easier to
purchase and get network replies. Maybe this is not crucial but I like
Windows to keep trying to understand online business and android tablet has
good mobile phones but in terms of usability I still like Windows software.

Thanks

It is my understanding if you have Windows 7 or 8, all you have to do is
go to the online site, download, and install Windows 10.

Here is the site to answer all of your questions.

Like Keith has indicated, if you have a PC that is working with a valid
license for either Windows 7 or Windows 8 you do have the option of
upgrading for free to Windows 10.

There is no need to order a Windows 10 DVD if your system is currently
running Windows 7 or 8. You can upgrade directly from the Microsoft
update website. You can even download your own copy of the DVD (in ISO
format) that you can burn to a DVD on your machine if it has a DVD burner.

For some, if your PC is running W7 or W8 you might have to run a
Microsoft update on the old version first, but if you have been doing
routine Microsoft updates that should not be a problem.

The free upgrade can be done by you even if you do not have a Microsoft
email address. All of my systems that were upgraded to W10 at this time
are using just a local account. It is a little more bother to upgrade
with out a Microsoft Email address but there are valid (legal) ways to
install the upgrade with out one. You just have to know when and where
to tell the upgrade to skip or ignore that "feature" when the question
comes up.

With all the above said, there are still people using W7 or W8, like
some laptops, where the PC vendor has not released W10 drivers yet. In
some cases the vender has come out and said they do not plan to provide
drivers for some of their older devices. For those machines you have to
decide if it is worth the bother to upgrade them.

It is always best if you have the capability to do an Image or Clone
copy of your existing system to another hard drive prior to starting any
W10 upgrade just in case your machine is one of those that just does not
work properly with Windows 10 (as in missing drivers and such). That
way you can use the clone to go back to what did work if all else fails.
