Upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 while keeping files and apps

UPDATED 6/6/2024: The In-Place Upgrade option allows you to upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10 without losing your files and erasing everything on the hard drive. You can quickly accomplish this task using the Microsoft Media Creation Tool, which is available for Windows 7 and 8.1.

However, before proceeding with these instructions, you must confirm the compatibility of the hardware, purchase a Windows 10 license and create a backup to be able to roll back in case of problems. In addition, as a prerequisite, the "Windows 7 Service Pack 1" must already be installed on the device.

Although it is not a requirement, it is recommended that you uninstall any security software (such as antivirus programs, security tools, and old third-party programs) that may cause conflicts when upgrading to Windows 10. In addition, it is recommended that you disconnect any hardware connected to your computer (including printers, phones, cameras, external hard drives, and other USB peripherals) to avoid compatibility issues.
