📌[UPDATE 26/12/2023] Please note that Microsoft has recently stopped converting Windows 7 and 8/8.1 licenses to Windows 10 licenses. This means the upgrade method shown in this video may not activate Windows 10 automatically.

Just remove all network connection and change the system date to 2023 and after that start the win 10 install. No problem😊 after install change back the date
hey there! it's may 7th 2024. and i just wanted to say that this STILL works!! i'm so thankful for your guide!! i really needed to install something for my assignments but it was only available on windows 10 or above. which is why i really appreciate this video. Keep up the good work!! :D
Upgraded on 12/14/23. All your steps worked. The Win 10 ISO Creation Tool worked. My activation key didn't carry over so I will be purchasing a new license, using the code MTT25. Just waiting on the key to be delivered. UPDATE: Got the digital key and added to computer. There was a problem Activating Windows because it said that I do not have a valid digital license or product key. Tried the Troubleshooting Activation and it keep going for 10 mins so I cancelled the process and restarted the computer. During the restart, there were Windows Updates that hadn't been completed, so it started the process to continuing applying the Updates. After reboot, the Windows Activation key got applied and my Windows 10 Pro is officially Activated. Thanks for the detailed help! I am a subscriber too!

After being stuck in a tutorial hell just trying to update my old laptop I finally came across the right video. And it's August 7th, 2024 and it still works
Thanks, this worked on 18 February 2024, When my hard drive gave up, I started with a new windows 7 Premium installation, I already had the Disc Plus original code numbers and worked my way through the video instructions, Only problem at the windows 10 installation stage was it didn't let keep anything, so I unticked the box, this was the only way the windows 10 would run and finish, But it didn't matter as I didn't have anything anyway, Thank you Very much, Great video instruction !!, Appreciated !!, Cheers
I'm glad you found the video useful! 😀 Usually if you can't keep all your files and apps it's because of the language settings, but I'm glad it wasn't an issue for you.
Thanks for the video, been trying to update friends laptop for ages, keep seeing message "this upgrade is no longer available" saw you video and thought ok, one last attempt. Excellent detailed explanations, step by step instructions, a second laptop helped enormously, methodical working and plenty of time to spare.... bingo! Mates laptop now running on Windows 10! September 2024
I would like to thank you for this step-by-step guide provided. It worked perfectly for me and my Windows 7 professional was upgraded to Windows 10 with ease on 1st December 2023. Thank you and God bless you
It worked for me as of 2/13/24. My new copy of Windows 10 is not activated. Do you have an instructional video on how to activate my copy? Thank you so much!!
Sorry, but if that keeps happening, I don't have a fix other than you will need to do a fresh install of Windows 10, you won't be able to do the upgrade from 7 to 10.
I updated all the Win7 updates, performed all the steps on this page, changed my browser to BB10, downloaded, unzipped, and ran setup. Windows starts the upgrade, gathers updates, switches to a blue screen "installing windows 10", gets to 38%, then kicks back to Win7 and displays a message box "Windows 10 installation has failed" (OK) button only. No error code or reason. Windows 7 is activated, has an OEM windows key. Antivirus is uninstalled, drive has 286GB free space, computer meets all win10 requirements. Been trying to upgrade to win10 for more than a week now, maybe 25 times. Trying different things each time. Any suggestions are welcome, Thanks, Robert
Hey man, I wish I could help and I have also encountered similar issues before. Unfortunately, in all those cases I had to do a clean install of Windows 10, it was impossible for me to perform the upgrade from 7 to 10.
Thank you very much for this extremely easy and very detailed video. Today is 7/27/24 and I was able to update my computer. Not one single issue came up. It worked exactly how you explained it in your video. Thank you again.
I skipped a step and used the media creation tool to install because it was working, but now that windows 10 is installed it didn't convert my windows 7 Product license code, and I didn't save it. What do I do now? Thanks,
You can purchase a cheap Windows 10 license with the link in the description and then activate Windows 10. Unfortunately, it seems that Microsoft has now stopped converting the Windows 7 & 8 licenses to Windows 10 licenses like I mentioned in the video, but for me it was still working when I recorded the video.
Sept 24th 2024 got it working without needing to going through with the google chrome bit , went to the Microsoft website and downloaded win 10 ….went through with it , whilst previously this would not work without the steps mentioned in the video………many thanks . Edit : Note that Windows fails to activate ( mine failed ).... perhaps it doesn't using the media creation tool , but i managed to upgrade without it . Do others get Windows activation failure using the Media creation tool .....?
Thank you for the reply but after I send the message the procedure didn’t go through so couldn’t download windows 10. I am going to try your second video unless you have any other suggestions?
It's august 2024, and 3 or 4 days ago (30/7/2024) I successfully upgraded from windows 7 pro to windows 10 pro BUT the license key wasn't working in windows 10 (as said in the pinned comment), and calling microsoft support, he said I had to buy a new licence. But, the upgrade itself was successfull thank you very much!
@@memstechtips thanks! I ended up installing 10 with Trend Macro and everything works fine. The only thinking is that my laptop is slowed down a bit. Thanks anyway
Hello sir! i updated my pc from windows 7 to 10 on 10/05/24 thanks it still works but my pc has slowed down a lot (even though a lot of storage space is left), it hangs after every single prompt also my wifi speed had decreased. So after a few days i decided to get it back to windows 7. But now came the main issue. My pc is showing a message that says, "Your windows is not genuine and you might be a victim of software counterfeiting." Im terrified after this message. Can you please help me out with this sir. Also any settings i have changed goes back to normal after i shut my pc down. Please help me with this dude
Hi there; 1. On Windows 10 your PC will be slow if you don't have Windows installed on an SSD, if you still have an old conventional Hard Drive, think about replacing it with a Solid State Drive (SSD). 2. The Windows 7 installation doesn't have your Product Key anymore, you should have it somewhere on your computer, you can just enter it again and it should activate. 3. The PC settings changing after you shut down, I'm not sure about that one, sorry...
@@memstechtipsYes sir i still have a hard drive and its too old but no problem about the 3rd one, I'll manage. Thanks for helping me btw i loved this vid and the other vids you have posted are really helpful. You are really good at your job and you've gained a sub from my side. Cheers! Edit: Can u please tell me how much a good ssd will cost (i don't wanna spend too much on my old pc as I'm switching to a new one and I'll give this old one to my brother to play and do some basic stuff)
I upgraded win7 ultimate to win10. No problems at all. Make sure you download your local language of win10, as shown in your Regions-languages settings. You can still change display language to English once the update is finished.
I just followed your video completely and I was able to upgrade from Windows 7 to 10, however the activation is no longer there and microsoft is wanting me to spend $249 to activate it. Can i just leave it unactivated or will it become problematic?
I'm glad to hear that the upgrade worked for you! Look, it's not really "problematic", you just won't have access to some personalization settings and you'll get an "Activate Windows" watermark at the bottom right of your screen, but the best thing is to get Windows 10 activated legally. You can check out this video where I explain how you can purchase a legal Windows 10 Key for cheap which you can use to activate your copy of Windows. ua-cam.com/video/giN3Ph8jCOw/v-deo.html Let me know if you have any other questions!
Brother when i start the setup it says enter a product key for windows 10 even though my windows 7 is licensed.. how to continue without entering product letting pc automatically detect windows 10
@@memstechtips bro do you have any other way to upgrade i really want to upgrade for the amazing features but can't do I Also tried media creation tool but it downloads then verify and it create media then after that it closes.. I have fixed so many errors on my own and also taken help from yt reddit discord... I am frustrated Should I use a generic key that microsoft provides?
Hello, this worked wonderfully, thank you and appreciate it. Now that i set it up, can i delete what i downloaded for the installation? Or do i have to keep them? Thanks again!
2024/02/04 still works! Thank you so much for the clear instruction. I just have to update all outdated applications to better work with Windows 10 after this upgrade. Give me a chance to cleanup my computer too.
I have a VERY old but still very usable old version of Photoshop and I have avoided upgrading from Windows 7 to 10 bc I am worried that this version will be deleted after I upgrade. Can you ballpark me my chances of keeping it if I upgrade? Great video BTW! Thank you :)
As long as you have the option to keep all of your files and apps selected during the upgrade, it will be kept and should also work perfectly fine on Windows 10. Lemme know how it goes!
Hi, I got it now! Yes, yesterday I tried that, and it works. Thanks allot! My grandma has tried doing regular Windows 7 updates for years and has asked friends and companies for help, but no one has updated the computer or upgraded it with all the files and apps. Skipping the update and upgrading it to Windows 10 helped a lot. By the way, Windows 7 to 10 for free is somehow patched. Her computer sometimes has full Windows and sometimes has the trial version. That is not a problem.😀@@memstechtips
Tried it today (3 March 2024). I installed Win 7 Pro + SP1 (64-bit) first and activated with a call to MS. I followed all your instructions and it all went well right up until the part where it said 'Windows is not activated Error code: 0xC004F213. I'm positive I saw it flash up something about not being able to reach the activation server......but that was only once and very briefly.
@@memstechtips I was able to activate the Win 7 by calling the automated MS activation line (I still have the long code they gave me so I could reinstall the Win7 and reactivate). I then did your method of installing Win 10 (I chose to keep nothing as it was a fresh Win 7 install anyway). But the Win 10 install was not activated. I looked up the error code and it suggested that there was no active digital licence on the PC so I re-entered the Win 7 COA but then the activation error code changed to the one that said they couldn't activate with that licence.
There's an error after I click confirm on the "select the product language", it says "We are unable to complete your request at this time. Some users, entities and locations are banned from using this service. For this reason, leveraging anonymous or location hiding technologies when connecting to this service is not generally allowed" , I don't know what is the problem .
Just a question, are you using a VPN to download the ISO file? If you are, disable it, if you're not, download a free VPN like ProtonVPN and then try the download. ua-cam.com/video/nIH3csZDbeQ/v-deo.html
The media creation tool simply shutdown. Went doing the 7zip ISO process, but when i tried to run the “setup” file after unzipping with 7zip, got an error message. And another one like “reinstall using the recomended…”… Didnt work for me. I ll try the media creation tool again.
I got this error right at the middle of upgrading "The system registry contains invalid file paths. Installation cannot proceed. This system image was applied without guaranteeing that drive-letter assignment would match across computers." Would you pls help
I haven't seen that before, did it reverse the upgrade? If so, try and use a program like CCleaner to clean the registry on Windows 7 and then try upgrading again.
Just took a windows 7 pro laptop and turned it into an 10 pro. That's two for two, thank you sir. Looking forward to trying the next leg up (or down depending on one's perspective...lol), which is moving to 11 pro on a non-compliant computer (i.e. no secure boot option). I'll post a comment on your video when I do the update, not sure exactly when right now.
That's great news! Yes I'm sure you'll be able to do it as well! You can follow any one of these 2 guides. ua-cam.com/video/48uTLJENU58/v-deo.htmlsi=j_71SYdN01507OAO or ua-cam.com/video/a7UFVCuqiKU/v-deo.htmlsi=brCwUJu7H_j4npNT Please let me know how it goes! 😃
How much of space is required to run this and all updates (how many space to transition from windows 7 to 10 in system files, and not in stuff that we just had to temporarily to download like ISO file)
@@memstechtips Thank yo for answering and sorry for asking, i should had checked myself, its 21GB at least that what my Win10 PC told me (i have 2 pcs and my dumb ass did not realized i can just... check it) Thank you and sorry again.
As of 5/25 this link for the download still works. Had to redo cause my son messed his pc up and had to reinstall. Hadnt gotten to the install yet. but the DL did work! I will be putting this on a back up CD and never getting rid of again. TYVM!!!
As of next day this did NOT work. It keeps asking for a windows 10 key which i do not have. Just 7. And when i put that in it says its not a valid key.
Thank you for your video. Unfortunately when it installed to 30%, it pops up an error : "the system registry contains invalid file paths. installation cannot proceed". I'm appreciate if you can show me how to fix it. Thank you
I'm not sure if it will fix it, but you can try and run a registry cleaner, like CCleaner for example, to clean up your registry. Then try upgrade to Windows 10 again.
I rarely comment, but omg so grateful to you for thus video, it worked ❤❤❤.. my system went to 7 basic when i received it to factory reset! Tried many ways and thankfully yours workedddd .. thanx a lot
I have one problem. I set up parental control on windows 7 for my kids account as i hv my own,I restricted certain apps including Internet. I upgraded to Windows 10,the restrictions are there still. I spent hours trying to figure it out but nothing works.
July 26th 2024, followed your step thoroughly and it worked!! Thank you so much for the step by step tutorial, I really needed this update, and appreciate you sharing the upgrade. 🙏
Hi. Were you able to upgrade your windows? No, I did not purchase key from whokeys. I followed and confirmed the steps showing my windows 7 was activated with activation key. From there, I followed the entire steps excluding downloading chrome browser, and the media tool section did not work for me. I literally followed the step by step instruction. I am not tech savvy and very thanksful for this tutorial. The laptop I upgraded for windows 10 was required to continue browsing on chrome and having access to certain accounts which required windows 10 and nothing lower. Good luck and hope it works out for you!!
I have a question about the activation process. I have Windows 7 Ultimate for years now, and I want to upgrade to Windows 10. The Windows 7 is an original copy, but suddenly, the license was gone and now Windows treats it as a pirated copy (black desktop screen and all) I bought a lot of Windows 7 activation keys to reactivate it, but none of them worked, so I'm stuck with this "pirated windows" state. I plan to download the Windows 10 Media Cration Tool/ISO, but it will work on a pirated Windows 7? I do have a Windows 10 activation key, though. Is a Windows 10 activation key enough, or do I NEED to have an activated Windows 7 copy before the upgrade? Please, I'm desperate! (sorry for my bad english)
Hi there, so as far as I know, the Windows 7 has to be activated, or else you can't upgrade to 10. If you say that you have a Windows 10 activation key, I would just do a clean install of Windows 10 and then activate it with the legal key that you have.
@@memstechtips That's the problem. I want to preserve my apps and data without having to do a clean install or formating my PC. There's SO much stuff from decades over that's almost impossible to just do a manual transfer. (and also, I'd lose my programs) Are you sure there isn't any way to do it? I tried activating Windows 7 with over 8 different keys, tried the promp command, but nothing worked. My Windows 7 isn't pirated and I used it for years now. But it randomly decided that it didn't had a license sometime last year.
Im so grateful that i found this video , if not my pc would still in windows 7 , and thankfully my pc now is already at windows 10 , the explanation , the video and all are amazing , thank you so much , yk i spend my 4 days 24/7 searching on how to upgrade my windows 7 to windows 10 , im so grateful that i found this video , thank you so much once more❤ also this is on 13 September 2024
Will these steps work now?? I am trying to update my win7 , but i couldn't find the option of 7zip, even after i installed it successfully. And it showing: " WinRAR is not a free software. After a 40 day trial period you must buy a license or..... " What should i do?? And how to do? I am very new and i need to update it also. Please help.
Hello. Very good tutorial. I have a question i have asked at Microsoft community without reply thus far. If i upgrade from Microsoft, will my programs still be installed? I do not mean the Microsoft programs. I have Max Payne 1 installed and it was very hard to patch and fix the issues, so i do not want to got through all that again. I have an old version of fL Studio installed (V11) and i do not want to have to reinstall that. Anything else is not an issue. Will installing over Win 7 Ultimate mean i can no longer run these? As far as i am aware, Max Payne fixes are for Win7, 8 and 10. FL Studio 11 is another matter. I could reinstall, but it has a lot of extras i manually installed into Program files that i do not want to do all over again. Any ideas? Thanks :)
If you follow my guide and have the "Keep all files and APPS" setting selected, EVERYTHING will be kept, all your files and installed programs. If you then find that on Windows 10 the programs you're talking about aren't working, you have like 5 days to go back to Windows 7 and have everything the way it was before. But after 5 or 7 days you can't go back anymore.
@@memstechtips Thank you for your fast reply. Saw at the end that your programs were all there, so i will give it a go. If i have the patience :) Things were so much easier on Amiga Workbench 😁
@@memstechtips Hey! Thanks, again. It is all working fine. Max and FL run as before. Only one missing synthesizer but i can update that for Win 10 because i purchased it. Excellent guide and it was easier than i expected. Cheers ✌
Question: I didn't download the ISO, I used the install files off my bootable USB drive with Win 10 Pro 64-bit that I had previously done with the Media Creation tool (the folder structure looked like what you showed)....could that cause the problem? Thanks

I got a problem. I watched a video of yours, on how to upgrade from window 7 to 10. It was successful (TODAY) but I need to get it activated pls help on that
It worked for me today, but I did have to purchase a key. The key part didn't surprise me. I was mostly concerned that I would end up having to reinstall Windows instead of being able to upgrade. This is a lifesaver. Thank you!!
02/03/2024 Did this guide from windows 7 home worked perfect, was having the date/time error code before but the bypass worked fine also used the English international version and no issues
The Win 10 ISO file has Pro, Home and Education. So if you currently have Windows 7 Home installed, it will be upgraded to Windows 10 Home automatically, you don't need to choose.
NOT WORKING 24/07/01 Was able to use windows media installer. Everything appears to work and install including updates. When windows installs and reboots for the first time an error appears. LinkID=528892. Will try and install using ISO.

@@memstechtips thanks! I ended up installing 10 with Trend Macro and everything works fine. The only thinking is that my laptop is slowed down a bit.
Thanks anyway
Thank you so much. I’ve just updated from Windows 7 to Windows 10 successfully.
Best upgrade video on the net!!!!!! Thank you so much.
Hello sir! i updated my pc from windows 7 to 10 on 10/05/24 thanks it still works but my pc has slowed down a lot (even though a lot of storage space is left), it hangs after every single prompt also my wifi speed had decreased.
So after a few days i decided to get it back to windows 7. But now came the main issue. My pc is showing a message that says, "Your windows is not genuine and you might be a victim of software counterfeiting." Im terrified after this message. Can you please help me out with this sir.
Also any settings i have changed goes back to normal after i shut my pc down.
Please help me with this dude
Hi there;
1. On Windows 10 your PC will be slow if you don't have Windows installed on an SSD, if you still have an old conventional Hard Drive, think about replacing it with a Solid State Drive (SSD).
2. The Windows 7 installation doesn't have your Product Key anymore, you should have it somewhere on your computer, you can just enter it again and it should activate.
3. The PC settings changing after you shut down, I'm not sure about that one, sorry...
@@memstechtipsYes sir i still have a hard drive and its too old but no problem about the 3rd one, I'll manage.
Thanks for helping me btw i loved this vid and the other vids you have posted are really helpful.
You are really good at your job and you've gained a sub from my side. Cheers!
Edit: Can u please tell me how much a good ssd will cost (i don't wanna spend too much on my old pc as I'm switching to a new one and I'll give this old one to my brother to play and do some basic stuff)
Still works! Just did it today 31 Dec 2024. Appreciate it man, was about to throw the computer out
does your data lost?
August 23,2024 . it still works , after using my win-7 pc for many years, thanks to you i'm finally able to update to win-10.tnx very much
did you lost any data , like photos , videos , documents?
what to do if the msu files (step 4) is not applicable for my computer?
You can skip it and continue with the rest, it should still work.
@@memstechtips thank you
I upgraded win7 ultimate to win10. No problems at all. Make sure you download your local language of win10, as shown in your Regions-languages settings. You can still change display language to English once the update is finished.
Awesome, glad it worked and thanks for your feedback!
I just followed your video completely and I was able to upgrade from Windows 7 to 10, however the activation is no longer there and microsoft is wanting me to spend $249 to activate it. Can i just leave it unactivated or will it become problematic?
I'm glad to hear that the upgrade worked for you! Look, it's not really "problematic", you just won't have access to some personalization settings and you'll get an "Activate Windows" watermark at the bottom right of your screen, but the best thing is to get Windows 10 activated legally.
You can check out this video where I explain how you can purchase a legal Windows 10 Key for cheap which you can use to activate your copy of Windows.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
August 1, 2024 it still works 100%
Hi again. Can please u tell where exactly the product key is on the computer ?
For Windows 7 it was usually a sticker on the computer, not an exact location for it.
Brother when i start the setup it says enter a product key for windows 10
even though my windows 7 is licensed..
how to continue without entering product letting pc automatically detect windows 10
Unfortunately brother I can't really help you with this, sorry...
@@memstechtips bro do you have any other way to upgrade i really want to upgrade for the amazing features but can't do
I Also tried media creation tool but it downloads then verify and it create media then after that it closes..
I have fixed so many errors on my own and also taken help from yt reddit discord...
I am frustrated
Should I use a generic key that microsoft provides?
@@memstechtipsplease reply if I am correct
(See ⬆️ reply)
I'm sorry my man but I don't have any other way of performing the upgrade. I really do hope that you manage to sort it out though.@@V-Visual-Designs
@@memstechtips ok no probs mate btw thanks for the guide
I will manage to use win 7 and in future if I purchase a new pc i will directly use win 11
Just successfully upgraded from 7 to 10 with these instructions on 2/14/23 so it still works.
Awesome, thanks for letting me know! 😀
Hi. Did you use the W7 licence please? What about installation tool? Thanks.
These instructions worked for on on the 5-9-2024 Thank you for your instructions
Hello, this worked wonderfully, thank you and appreciate it.
Now that i set it up, can i delete what i downloaded for the installation? Or do i have to keep them? Thanks again!
I'm really glad the guide worked for you 😄 You can delete those files.
2024/02/04 still works! Thank you so much for the clear instruction. I just have to update all outdated applications to better work with Windows 10 after this upgrade. Give me a chance to cleanup my computer too.
Glad it helped! I hope you like Windows 10!
I have a VERY old but still very usable old version of Photoshop and I have avoided upgrading from Windows 7 to 10 bc I am worried that this version will be deleted after I upgrade. Can you ballpark me my chances of keeping it if I upgrade? Great video BTW! Thank you :)
As long as you have the option to keep all of your files and apps selected during the upgrade, it will be kept and should also work perfectly fine on Windows 10. Lemme know how it goes!
I have only 8 gb free in disk C ,, It works or not???
Hmm it might be too little... Try to free some space.
@@memstechtips how much space I free?
I would say like 15-20GB

Thanks for letting me know and congrats on the upgrade!
Hi, my grandmother's computer can't download the Microsoft update. It is only loading but not installing. Any solutions?
You can skip the update or are you referring to the upgrade as a whole?
Hi, I got it now!
Yes, yesterday I tried that, and it works. Thanks allot!
My grandma has tried doing regular Windows 7 updates for years and has asked friends and companies for help, but no one has updated the computer or upgraded it with all the files and apps.
Skipping the update and upgrading it to Windows 10 helped a lot.
By the way, Windows 7 to 10 for free is somehow patched. Her computer sometimes has full Windows and sometimes has the trial version. That is not a problem.😀@@memstechtips
Thanks alot, i update today ,it work excellent,i follow step by step and it works
Hello, I have completed all the necessary tasks, but I downloaded it using Microsoft Edge. Will it still work?
Yes it should still work fine!
Tried it today (3 March 2024). I installed Win 7 Pro + SP1 (64-bit) first and activated with a call to MS. I followed all your instructions and it all went well right up until the part where it said 'Windows is not activated Error code: 0xC004F213. I'm positive I saw it flash up something about not being able to reach the activation server......but that was only once and very briefly.
So your Windows 7 is not activated at the moment then? Although you called MS, can they still activate Windows 7?
@@memstechtips I was able to activate the Win 7 by calling the automated MS activation line (I still have the long code they gave me so I could reinstall the Win7 and reactivate). I then did your method of installing Win 10 (I chose to keep nothing as it was a fresh Win 7 install anyway). But the Win 10 install was not activated. I looked up the error code and it suggested that there was no active digital licence on the PC so I re-entered the Win 7 COA but then the activation error code changed to the one that said they couldn't activate with that licence.
today is 02/18/2024 - I followed your directions and it worked perfectly, no issues with any of the downloads or installations --- thanks !!
Awesome! Glad it worked!
I updated my system on 2.3.24 and it worked. Have you any suggestions for a product key to activate the Windows 10?
Glad it worked! Check the pinned comment. 😀
There's an error after I click confirm on the "select the product language", it says "We are unable to complete your request at this time. Some users, entities and locations are banned from using this service. For this reason, leveraging anonymous or location hiding technologies when connecting to this service is not generally allowed" , I don't know what is the problem .
Today is March 4, 2024
Just a question, are you using a VPN to download the ISO file? If you are, disable it, if you're not, download a free VPN like ProtonVPN and then try the download. ua-cam.com/video/nIH3csZDbeQ/v-deo.html
Thank you, but I'm not using any vpn
The media creation tool simply shutdown. Went doing the 7zip ISO process, but when i tried to run the “setup” file after unzipping with 7zip, got an error message. And another one like “reinstall using the recomended…”…
Didnt work for me.
I ll try the media creation tool again.
I got this error right at the middle of upgrading
"The system registry contains invalid file paths. Installation cannot proceed. This system image was applied without guaranteeing that drive-letter assignment would match across computers."
Would you pls help
I haven't seen that before, did it reverse the upgrade? If so, try and use a program like CCleaner to clean the registry on Windows 7 and then try upgrading again.
Amazing!!! Great vídeo
If I do it this way will it erase pictures, videos, and passwords?
No, if the option to "Keep all files and apps" is selected, you shouldn't be losing anything.
@@memstechtips thank you so much. 😊
No problem!@@lisasescapades
Thank you! I followed your instructions and it worked. Just did this today, 12/15/24
Just took a windows 7 pro laptop and turned it into an 10 pro.
That's two for two, thank you sir. Looking forward to trying the next leg up (or down depending on one's perspective...lol), which is moving to 11 pro on a non-compliant computer (i.e. no secure boot option).
I'll post a comment on your video when I do the update, not sure exactly when right now.
That's great news! Yes I'm sure you'll be able to do it as well! You can follow any one of these 2 guides. ua-cam.com/video/48uTLJENU58/v-deo.htmlsi=j_71SYdN01507OAO or ua-cam.com/video/a7UFVCuqiKU/v-deo.htmlsi=brCwUJu7H_j4npNT
Please let me know how it goes! 😃
How much of space is required to run this and all updates (how many space to transition from windows 7 to 10 in system files, and not in stuff that we just had to temporarily to download like ISO file)
I don't have an exact amount, but I'm guessing at least 10GB needs to be free for it to complete the upgrade successfully.
@@memstechtips Thank yo for answering and sorry for asking, i should had checked myself, its 21GB at least that what my Win10 PC told me (i have 2 pcs and my dumb ass did not realized i can just... check it) Thank you and sorry again.
As of 5/25 this link for the download still works. Had to redo cause my son messed his pc up and had to reinstall. Hadnt gotten to the install yet. but the DL did work! I will be putting this on a back up CD and never getting rid of again. TYVM!!!
As of next day this did NOT work. It keeps asking for a windows 10 key which i do not have. Just 7. And when i put that in it says its not a valid key.
Hey, thanks for sharing your experience. Please read the pinned comment to resolve the product key issue.
My window is activated but when setting up the window 10, they asked me for my product key again.
Please help!
Please read pinned comment.
I have service pack 3 installed, on my Win 7, will it be a problem, should I downgrade to service pack 1?
Thanks
Hey there, as far as I know there is no service pack 3 for Win 7. SP1 was the only one.
Thank you for your video. Unfortunately when it installed to 30%, it pops up an error : "the system registry contains invalid file paths. installation cannot proceed". I'm appreciate if you can show me how to fix it. Thank you
I'm not sure if it will fix it, but you can try and run a registry cleaner, like CCleaner for example, to clean up your registry. Then try upgrade to Windows 10 again.
Thanks very very much your advise and I will give a try and let you know if it's going work or not. Thanks again😊
@@memstechtips 😭It's need to clean install finally

I have one problem.
I set up parental control on windows 7 for my kids account as i hv my own,I restricted certain apps including Internet. I upgraded to Windows 10,the restrictions are there still. I spent hours trying to figure it out but nothing works.
July 26th 2024, followed your step thoroughly and it worked!! Thank you so much for the step by step tutorial, I really needed this update, and appreciate you sharing the upgrade. 🙏
Hey. I am about to update. Did you have to purchase the key from whokeys or it activated it automatically as shown in this video?
Hi. Were you able to upgrade your windows?
No, I did not purchase key from whokeys. I followed and confirmed the steps showing my windows 7 was activated with activation key. From there, I followed the entire steps excluding downloading chrome browser, and the media tool section did not work for me. I literally followed the step by step instruction. I am not tech savvy and very thanksful for this tutorial. The laptop I upgraded for windows 10 was required to continue browsing on chrome and having access to certain accounts which required windows 10 and nothing lower.
Good luck and hope it works out for you!!
I have a question about the activation process.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate for years now, and I want to upgrade to Windows 10.
The Windows 7 is an original copy, but suddenly, the license was gone and now Windows treats it as a pirated copy (black desktop screen and all)
I bought a lot of Windows 7 activation keys to reactivate it, but none of them worked, so I'm stuck with this "pirated windows" state.
I plan to download the Windows 10 Media Cration Tool/ISO, but it will work on a pirated Windows 7? I do have a Windows 10 activation key, though.
Is a Windows 10 activation key enough, or do I NEED to have an activated Windows 7 copy before the upgrade?
Please, I'm desperate! (sorry for my bad english)
Hi there, so as far as I know, the Windows 7 has to be activated, or else you can't upgrade to 10. If you say that you have a Windows 10 activation key, I would just do a clean install of Windows 10 and then activate it with the legal key that you have.
@@memstechtips That's the problem. I want to preserve my apps and data without having to do a clean install or formating my PC.
There's SO much stuff from decades over that's almost impossible to just do a manual transfer. (and also, I'd lose my programs)
Are you sure there isn't any way to do it? I tried activating Windows 7 with over 8 different keys, tried the promp command, but nothing worked.
My Windows 7 isn't pirated and I used it for years now. But it randomly decided that it didn't had a license sometime last year.
Can you contact me through the contact form on my website? There is a link in the description of my videos.@@N64_Player

@@memstechtips it's updated, but it's not activated. Error code : 0xC004F213... What should i do next??
Hello. Very good tutorial. I have a question i have asked at Microsoft community without reply thus far.
If i upgrade from Microsoft, will my programs still be installed? I do not mean the Microsoft programs. I have Max Payne 1 installed and it was very hard to patch and fix the issues, so i do not want to got through all that again. I have an old version of fL Studio installed (V11) and i do not want to have to reinstall that. Anything else is not an issue. Will installing over Win 7 Ultimate mean i can no longer run these? As far as i am aware, Max Payne fixes are for Win7, 8 and 10. FL Studio 11 is another matter. I could reinstall, but it has a lot of extras i manually installed into Program files that i do not want to do all over again.
Any ideas? Thanks :)
If you follow my guide and have the "Keep all files and APPS" setting selected, EVERYTHING will be kept, all your files and installed programs. If you then find that on Windows 10 the programs you're talking about aren't working, you have like 5 days to go back to Windows 7 and have everything the way it was before. But after 5 or 7 days you can't go back anymore.
@@memstechtips Thank you for your fast reply. Saw at the end that your programs were all there, so i will give it a go. If i have the patience :) Things were so much easier on Amiga Workbench 😁
