Upgarding to Windows 10!

Lets upgrade to Windows 10. Let’s see how it goes, hopefully it goes well. If it doesn’t you’ll see kind of like what happens. I have my home computer I just brought it here into the shop. Just this little guy little Windows 7 with an high 5 and here I am at the desktop. Now, this is a computer that you know it is not critical to my business or what have you. So I’m going to run Windows 10 on here. If it works great. If it crashes then we’ll fix it but not critical.

That’s the same kind of thing I would do. If I were you I’d just put into my mind that I was flipping a coin. 50/50 whether it’s going to boot up right or you are to have some down time. So just get ready for that and we do a backup. Or we have an option. If you don’t have something important the next day that you need to do on your computer. So what are the thing you want to do to minimize this? I made a video the other day about removing your anti-virus. I removed a couple of other things here too.

Locate the active icons

If you look at your bottom right hand corner on your computer down here these are your active icons. You see there is pretty much nothing there, the volume and the network connection and stuff like that. So it’s really nothing there. So what I do is uninstall the several anti-viruses on here that runs Kaspersky, that’s what I recommend and that’s what we install here, I removed that completely. I also ran a, I also have a malware or malware bytes removed that, super antivirus software, I had Dropbox there I didn’t uninstall it but I took out of my startup and that’s pretty much it didn’t have a lot of things starting up.

I’m going to show you how to do that, you’re going to go here to your start button and you type here msconfig…just like that, that’s going to take you to this window here. And is this for Window 7, 8 is going to be different so if you’ve got a Windows 8 machine and you maybe have to look up on another tutorial a blue one. And here right at this tab you want to go startup, you want to take a look at how many things are here in the startup, you want to have this minimized actually you can removed them all.

Take a note of your apps

What I would you if you really don’t know about a lot of what you’re doing here is take a picture or a video like this, remove them all, run your update and then you know go back and put them. Some if these things they are really Intel Processes, Google updates, Dropbox update, have a Dropbox down here actually starting and I removed it, I don’t see it there…it’s going to be hard to look through here and find it. Basically, all these other things not all of them were running but I did remove some of this stuff there. Basically what we are doing is having the computer you know startup and install Windows 10 with the least amount of things, you know running that could potentially create you know a problem, a road block, and wind up having your computer you know stuck or not booting.

So here we go this is going to be it, you know I’m going to cut pieces here and maybe couple parts. I don’t know frankly how long it’s going to take but here we go and I’ll come back and let you know how it’s going. Everything went actually smooth I had no hiccups, I have it run some of my software and stuff like that so this is just saying that the whole process went through. Again remember we cleaned up everything in the startup to avoid any headache, it’s actually something get out of already that’s one drive. So when do the upgrade you are going to get one drive installed no matter what.

Wrapping upa smooth install

So everything went pretty smooth, one thing I want to mention that download took awhile like an hour or hour and half I don’t have an high speed here and then the installation I just left it installing last night and just walked in here in the morning. I do have a lot of programs and other stuff so that’s probably why it took so long and so on. It worked and I will keep you posted any other glitches as I start using programs and things like that. I’m sure there are going to be some programs that are going to have incompatibility but overall it sums up for Windows 10 on upgrade from Windows 7. Thanks for watching.
