How to Install Windows 10 on Windows 7

Windows 10 is here! Download and
install the latest OS from Microsoft and
get the sleek computing experience.
Microsoft has provided a platform for
the smooth installation and upgrade for
Windows 7/8.1 users with the MediaTool utility, however, users with
limited/unsteady or slow/poor internet
connection finds it difficult to use this
tool. Therefore, this article will provide
a smooth process for the download,
installation or upgrade of your OS to Windows 10 without any fear of
unfinished installation due to
disconnection or when mediatool is not
downloading.

Most often, we see “How to install
Windows 10 from USB” but here, I will
show you a simple method of installing
Windows 10 on Windows 7 from a
virtual drive by simply mounting the
downloaded iso file on it instead of to create a bootable DVD or USB.

Here we go!
In spite of the minimum requirements
for the upgrade to Windows 10, it is highly recommended to have at least2 GB RAM and50 GB disk capacity to allow for your backup files from the
previous Windows installation.

Click here to download and install MagicDisc (1.3mb) on your Windows 7. It will create a virtual disk drive
which you can see on “Computer”. (For Windows 8.1 users, you don't need Magicdisc, just right-click on the
iso file and mount on the Virtual Drive
to install)

Download latest final release of Windows 10 Enterprise iso file from
getintopc.com (3 GB) or theAll-in-one Windows 10 Pack (4.5 GB) in case
you need the Pro Version. Wait for full download. Remember that with this
option of downloading the iso file, you
can use IDM to accelerate the
download (an option MediaTool doesn’t
have).

Click to run theMagicdisc, and then go to your notification area of the
taskbar and right-click on the Magicdisc
icon to bring up the options.

Choose the first option, “Virtual CD/ DVD ROM” and follow the dropdown to “Mount….”, click on it and navigate to the downloaded Windows 10 iso file
and select it, it will automatically
mount. Go back to “Computer” on the Windows Explorer and double click on
the "Virtual Disk Drive" which has now been loaded with the Windows 10
Setup. Open the drive and locate the “Setup.exe” and click to run the upgrade/Installation.

The installation/upgrade process is divided roughly into 5 steps:
- Preparing for installation
- Checking your system (If your internet is not strong, you can
skip the checking of updates for
now, after installation, you can
do that)
- Copying files
- Installing
- Configuring your settings

You can just sit back and follow the prompt where necessary; pretty soon,
the upgrade will be completed.
Duration of installation might range
from an hour to 2 hours depending on
your system specs After completion, you can then look around to familiarize yourself with the
interface and check your settings and
privacy.
Then finally, you will have to activate
your copy of Windows 10.

This version of Windows is really a
mastercraft between the best of
Windows 8.1 and the ruggedness of
Windows 7 and you can easily switch to
tablet mode with just a click. If you
ever get confused, Cortana is there for you.
