Upgrading to Windows 10 Pro Version 1511: A Step-by-Step Guide

=====================================================================================================

If you're still running an earlier build of Windows 10 and experiencing a restart loop, it's time to upgrade to version 1515. This article will walk you through the process step-by-step.

Why Upgrade?

----------

Microsoft released several service packs for Windows 8/8.1 in response to user feedback, but none were as significant as Windows 10. With its sleek new interface and numerous performance improvements, it's no wonder that more users are making the switch every day.

Prerequisites

-------------

Before you begin, make sure your system meets these minimum requirements:

* 64-bit processor (Intel Core i3 or later recommended)

* 16 GB of RAM (32GB recommended for multiple installations)

* UEFI firmware (Legacy BIOS mode not supported)

Download the Windows 10 ISO File

-----------------------------------

1. Go to Microsoft's official download page and select 'Windows' from the top navigation bar.

2. Click on 'Windows 10' under 'Operating Systems.'

3. From here, choose your language preferences by clicking on it in the drop-down menu below.

Choose Your Edition

----------------

Once you've selected your preferred edition (Home or Pro), click Next to proceed with downloading the ISO file for Windows 10 version 1511 build 10586:

* Windows 10 Home: This is the free, non-activated version of Windows 10 that comes pre-installed on many new computers. If you don't have a Product Key handy, this might be your best bet.

* Windows 8 Pro Upgrade:

* This option requires an existing Retail copy of any edition of Windows 7/8/8.1 (Retail only).

Follow these steps to upgrade from within Settings:

Go to Start > Settings

Click on 'Update & Security'

In the left-hand sidebar, click on 'Activation'

At the top-right corner, you'll see an option labeled as 'Change product key.' Click it.

Enter your valid Windows 8 Pro Product Key when prompted. If everything checks out, a dialog box will appear stating that your computer has been successfully activated with Windows 10 Pro.

* Windows 10 Professional: This is the paid version of Windows 10 that comes with all features enabled right from the start - no need to worry about activation or any other nonsense!

Once you've downloaded and extracted the ISO file, follow these steps:

1. Boot from the USB drive:

* Connect your USB flash drive to an available port on your computer.

* Go into UEFI (BIOS) settings by pressing F10 during boot-up.

2. Select 'Boot Order' or equivalent depending upon your motherboard model and move the newly created Windows 10 installation media above other options like Hard Disk/SSD etc., so it boots first when starting up again!

3. Reboot your system once more after making these changes until you see this screen:

4. Select 'Windows 10' from the list of available operating systems and press Enter to boot into Windows 10.

5. Follow on-screen instructions for language selection, keyboard layout settings etc... then agree with terms & conditions before proceeding further!

Congratulations! You have successfully upgraded your computer running an older version of Windows (or even a different OS altogether) up-to the latest stable release - Windows 10 Pro x64 bit build 10586.

Troubleshooting Tips

----------------------

If you encounter any issues during or after installing Windows 10, here are some common troubleshooting tips to try:

1. Check for updates: Ensure that your system is up-to-date by running a manual update check from Settings > Update & Security.

2. Disable/enable network adapters: Sometimes simply turning off and back on the Ethernet (or Wi-Fi) adapter can resolve connectivity problems.

If none of these steps work, feel free to post your issue in our forums or contact Microsoft support directly for further assistance!

I hope this guide has been helpful in upgrading you from an older version of Windows 10 up-to the latest supported release - enjoy using Windows 10 Pro!
