I therefore have all the various incarnations of the Windows 10 installation media on numerous USB keys.įor this laptop, I slotted in the appropriate key and began the upgrade from within Windows 7. Since its release in August, I have been asked to install the Windows 10 upgrade on numerous machines (old and new). The install (Win 7 with SP1) was uneventful and within 30 minutes I had a laptop with (re)activated Windows 7 which was really flying.

In my experience, that's fairly typical for a teenage girl's laptop and the root cause seems to be 'free' emoticon packs. It's performance was woeful, and the three browsers (Chrome, IE and Firefox), had various hijacks. Having started the laptop up, it was clear it was heavily infected with malware and probably had a virus too. I offered to clean up the OS and take it through the free Windows 10 upgrade process. The laptop is running Windows 7 Home Premium.
