Tips for upgrading genuine win8 to win10
Tools/Materials
Networked computers
1. Download Win10
1Before downloading, please distinguish between the various versions of Win10. Here, I would like to specifically mention the difference between the Enterprise Edition and the LTSB Edition.
The main difference between the two versions is: the LTSB version does not have the Edge browser, Cortana, or magnetic posts, but it can choose whether to download and install patches.
2 For the specific download address of each version, please see the webpage as shown in the picture. The download address of all Win10 official versions is provided above, and there are detailed instructions.
2. Installation
1 After downloading Win10 to the local computer, it will be a disc image file with an extension of .iso. Right-click the file and select "Load".
2 After loading, double-click setup.exe to start the installation program.
3 After opening the installer window, select "Not now" as to whether to obtain updates again (obtaining updates now is mainly too time-consuming, we can obtain them after upgrading), and then click Next. Next, just follow the default settings (it is recommended not to make changes to ensure the stability of the upgrade), and click Next until the upgrade starts.
Note that by default, all files, programs and settings on your computer will be saved.
The upgrade process is divided into three stages:
1. Copy files
2. Installation functions and driver files
3. Configuration settings
Among them, each stage will be restarted when completed, sometimes more than once. Note that sometimes the installation process will be very slow, and other times it will be very fast, so don't rush it.
5After the upgrade is completed, you will enter the final setup phase. If your previous system account has a login password, you will be asked to enter the password. Next is the setting, which is very simple and exactly the same as when installing the system in the past. Of course, you can also keep everything as default.
6After the settings are completed, the upgrade is complete.
3. Activation
If you choose to upgrade to Windows 10 Enterprise Edition, you will be asked to reactivate it regardless of whether your previous version has been activated. The activation method is as follows:
1) Right-click the Win logo in the lower left corner and click "Command Prompt (Administrator)".
Execute the following three commands in the command prompt:
slmgr /ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
Note: xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx are replaced with keys
slmgr /skms kms.xspace.in
slmgr /ato
After the three commands are executed, the system can be perfectly activated. Below is a screenshot of my 64-bit Enterprise Edition after activation.

Precautions
Users who have activated Win7 and Win8 (non-enterprise version) as genuine before upgrading do not need to activate again after upgrading. They will be activated after installation.
Click on the Win10 official version desktop to find the "This PC" icon, right-click and select the "Properties" item from the pop-up right-click menu.
The "Control" window will open. Find the "Advanced System Settings" button on the left and click to enter the detailed settings interface. as the picture shows:
After opening the "System Properties" window, switch to the "Advanced" tab and click the "Settings" button in the "Enablement and Recovery" column.
From the "Startup and Recovery" window that opens, clear the "Automatic Restart" item in the "System Failure" column and click "OK" to complete the settings.
If the problem of automatic system restart cannot be solved after the above settings, we need to make the following settings:
Use "win R" to open the "Run" window, enter "msconfig" and press Enter to enter the system configuration utility main interface.
In the "System Settings" interface, switch to the "General" tab, check the "Diagnostic Startup" item, click the "OK" button, and restart the computer.
After the system restart is completed, enter the "System Configuration" interface again, switch to the "Services" tab, check the "Hide Windows Services" item, and also check the items you want to start automatically with the system, click "OK" That's it.
Solution: Just install win10 directly.
The method to upgrade win10 is as follows:
1. Download the Win10 image. It should be noted that the simplified Chinese Win10 preview version is divided into 32-bit and 64-bit systems. There are two versions. If the computer memory is greater than 4GB, please download the 64-bit version. If the memory is less than 4GB, select 32-bit version is enough
2. After downloading the image, Win8/8.1 users can directly double-click to open the ISO image file (Win7 users need to use a virtual optical drive), run it, and then you can see the Win10 installation interface. The first choice is to check "Agree to the Agreement" ” and click Next.
3. Next, you will see the prompt "Saving and ready for installation". This is mainly for environmental monitoring. You need to wait for a while until you can click "Next" at the bottom.
4. After the check is completed, the installation program will list matters that need attention, such as the lack of system functions or the compatibility of existing software, etc. Generally, click OK.
5. Next, you will see the following "Ready to install" prompt. Since Win8 or win8.1 is overwriting and upgrading Win10, you can check to retain previously installed software and applications, and then click directly. "Install" at the bottom.
6. You will be prompted specifically when you come down here. Select "Keep Windows settings, personal files and application options" here, and then click "Next" at the bottom.
Finally, you will enter the installation process of Win8.1 upgrade to Win10. You can see the upgrade progress. During the upgrade, please do not operate the computer. During the upgrade process, several restarts will be completed automatically. Finally, Win8.1 can be successfully installed. Upgraded to Win10.
