Windows 10 gets continuous new builds, available at no additional cost to users, in addition to building additional Windows 10 tests, available on Windows Insiders.
How to upgrade to Windows 10?
Windows 10 offers two most important features that you may be losing if you have an older version of the operating system, such as Windows 7 or 8. 1 is the new Microsoft store, where you can download new apps and games updates for the new system. 2 is security. Without security updates or repairs, you put your computer at risk - very dangerous, as many types of malware devices target Windows devices.
Windows 10 offers a lot of cool built-in security tools for its users:
- Windows Defender Antivirus helps you get protected against all kinds of malware and spyware.
- Windows Hello provides different kinds of features. It offers you to sign in to your account with a fingerprint reader and facial recognition.

- Here you will get two more options; USB flash drive and ISO file. We suggest you select the ISO file because if you face any problem with your flash drive in the future, you will have to restore the process all over again.
- Choose where you want to save your file. Since it is almost 4 gigabytes, you can save it on the desktop for easier access
- It should start downloading and once it's finished downloading, you can click on open DVD or flash drive. We prefer you to click on the flash drive, then click on “finish”
- Follow this like to www.rufus.ie and scroll down under download click on “Rufus 3.11”. Copy down the file to the desktop.
- Go to your browser one last time and type Kmspico code download there are several websites where you can download this program but I will suggest you Kmspico.info (https://kmspico11.net/) click on “Download Here”.
- Now you have to insert your USB flash drive and then open Rufus. It will ask you, do you want Rufus to check for updates? Just click on “No”.
- USB flash drive should appear on their device and make sure you don't have anything important save on the flash drive because everything on it it's going to be erased. On their boot selection click on “select” and then look for the Windows ISO file you downloaded earlier. Click on “open” and on their volume label, change the name to “Windows 10”.
- After that click on “start” and you're going to get a final warning saying “all the data on the device will be destroyed” just click “OK” and wait until it's done. Hit “close” and go to this PC and copy the activator program onto your flash drive and eject it.
- And you are done. Finally shut down your computer. The next step is to insert the installation media and turn on the computer but as soon as you push the power button you need to press a specific key on your keyboard. Depending on your computer the key may be different, for example, if you have an HP computer you need to press “f9”. If you have a Dell computer you need to press “12” on your keyboard this is going to allow you to change the bootable device to our installation media.
- It may show you your hard drive floppy disk network CD/DVD drive and the USB Drive select your installation media, in this case, is the USB Drive. (if none of the keys work for you then try these keys on the screen f1 f2 f10 f11 and delete)
- Find a tab or an option that says boot or boot order, the boot of all devices, or anything like that. Once you find it, change the order of the bootable devices priority. You have to make sure that your media device is the number one priority.
- Store the computer and it will load your Windows installation media. Instead of the hard drive the first screen you are going to get is to set up the language and location. Click on “Next”, then click on “Install Now”. If you have a windows 10 product key, go ahead and enter that now. Otherwise, click on “I don't have a windows 10 product key”. Now it's going to ask you, which version of Windows do you want to install? Choose the “home version”.
