As we mentioned in our previous article, the Windows 7 support will end soon. According to Microsoft, the dreaded date for most of Windows 7 owners is 14th January 2020.
While the operating system will remain functional, solving potential issues might turn out to be a time-consuming hassle for you or your business, as it will require advanced knowledge. This is why we recommend switching to Windows 10 – Microsoft claims that Windows 10 will be the last OS they will ever release, so the official support for it will never expire, and constant improvements and updates will keep it up to date with current trends in technology.
How to upgrade to Windows 10
Windows 10 significantly differs from Windows 7 in many aspects, but both operating systems’ minimum hardware requirements are the same:
- Processor: 1 GHz
- Memory: 1 GB RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
- Hard disk space: 16 GB (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
- Graphics card: DirectX 9 graphics processor with WDDM 1.0 driver
You will need 2 more things, beside the minimum hardware requirements listed above, in order to upgrade to Windows 10: a genuine license for Windows 10 and an internet connection. That’s all!
As for the process itself – we have prepared a detailed guide for upgrading to Windows 10 that you can read here.
Important: Before making any changes to your operating system, it is always recommended to backup your important files.
