Upgrade existing Windows 7/ Windows 8 to Windows 10 Ent

First find out if the machine assigned to be upgraded has any official Windows 10 recovery disk. The use
of recovery disk ensures all the necessary drivers are installed properly.

If the machine model doesn’t have any Windows 10 recovery disk available, then use the standard MS
Windows 10 iso instead. Check for available Windows 10 drivers and applications for the specific models.

OPTION 1: Fresh install using official vendor’s recovery disk

Requirement:
1) USB with minimum 16GB storage

OPTION 2: Fresh install using original Windows 10 iso

To install a fresh copy of Windows 10, part of the process involves creating a USB media to boot your
device into the setup wizard. However, if you have relatively new hardware, the chances are that you're
using Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), instead of the legacy Basic Input/Output System (BIOS)
firmware, in which case you also have to ensure that the bootable media supports the firmware that
you're using before you can proceed with the Windows 10 installation from USB.

Use the Media Creation Tool, which is a Microsoft utility that makes it easy to copy the Windows 10
installation files onto a removable drive with support for both, BIOS and UEFI.

How to create a Windows 10 bootable media using Media Creation Tool

Use the Media Creation Tool to create a compatible bootable media. Just insert a USB flash drive with at
least 4GB of storage to your computer, and then follow these steps:
1. Open the official Download Windows 10 web page:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-
download/windows10?irgwc=1&OCID=AID681541_aff_7593_159229&tduid=(ir__tfnnzjgglzbykhjx6

2. Under "Create Windows 10 installation media," click the Download tool now button.

3. Double-click the MediaCreationToolxxxx.exe file to launch the utility.

4. Click the Accept button to agree to the Microsoft terms.
5. Select the Create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) for another PC option.
6. Click the Next button.
7. Select the correct language, architecture, and edition of Windows 10 if the default selection doesn't
reflect the desired options.

8. Click the Next button.

9. Select the USB flash drive option. (If you don't see the drive, click the Refresh drive list option.)
10. Click the Next button.
11. Select the removable drive you want to use from the list.

12. Click the Next button.

Once you complete these steps, the wizard will download the Windows 10 installation files, and it'll create
the bootable media compatible with devices using UEFI as well as legacy BIOS.
