You really don't want to do an in place upgrade from 7 to 10 anyways. You should do a clean install.

:summercat2023:

Millions of people do in place upgrades, if the Windows 7 system is in good working order, there's not a particular reason you can't do an upgrade. If it works, you save yourself a lot of hassle re-configuring a system, and if it doesn't, then a clean install is still an option.

This..... its an ugly mess when upgrading 2 iterations worth of OS.

It's really not. I understand the FUD and mental gymnastics people engage in to believe this. But that's what it is. I've upgraded a number of systems from my own personal machines to work machines from Win7 to Win10 (and then to Win11 in some instances) Any catastrophes that made a clean install a necessity have been a minuscule minority, not even worth mentioning.

You might want to give it a try once in a while, the convenience of being able to do an upgrade without spending all day reconfiguring a system is well worth it in most cases. And the benefits of a clean install in those situations is minor at best, and mindless ritual at worst.

You do a clean install because you want to. Not because it's the bestest, wisest, most informed process.

You presume folks have experience and know what to watch for.
Computers really do have personality quirks.

yup, never had an issue with "upgrades" and i only recommend clean installs if their OS and pc performance is already in terrible shape due to failure to maintain it.

a fresh install can take hours to a day or so, depending on what all needs to be done, while upgrades literally keep everything intact and all you have to do is check for updates, driver updates and run all your programs to make sure they work.

i "upgraded" from 7 to win 10 (skipped any updating, drivers, ect.., then straight into win 11 and everything went great, majority of my drivers worked but did find a few updates, including gpu and i only had a power plan issue that was fixed with resetting it to default and 1 or 2 programs needed to be reinstalled.

Out of curiosity and I know I'm risking a bit bringing this program up, but would Daemon tools help his situation at all? After all Deamon tools has the ability to mount virtual drives and USB storage units that I've done from time to time.

If your talking about the ISO mounting tool? Sure - very handy.
Wow...that brought back memories...been a min.

you could try, though you wouldnt need it afterwards as win 10 and 11, have built in iso mounting.

personally, mine as well just go the usb option.

Correct ya, they really improved from their old days but as expect it still costs money to fully use it, but beyond that it has a function that allows a virtual USB drive to be mounted. Granted I had to do it because someones PC had somehow lost their recovery drive, and without that I was not going to risk a reset till we had the recovery files on hand just in case

Use the media creation tool that was linked earlier. That can be used to create a USB or even a disk for installation.

I've only even used Rufus for custom installs or Linux.

You don't need Rufus if you use the media creation tool

Now get the windows 10/Linux iso file (which is basically a digital image of a disc) and a thumbdrive/USB stick.

Once you have those, you just run Rufus, tell it where the ISO is, tell it which USB drive to use, then hit start.

When it is done, you just boot from the thumbdrive. How to do that varies between computers so look it up for your PC's model type.

If you use Windows 10, instead of Linux, you will likely also need to purchase a license key. If you are using Linux, it is free and no license key is required.

You don't need Rufus. Download Microsoft media creation tool and insert a USB and wait for it to finish.
