Wie komme ich von Windows 7 auf Windows 10

Using the in-place upgrade option, you can upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10 without losing your files and erasing everything on the hard drive. You can quickly perform this task with the Microsoft Media Creation Tool, available for Windows 7 and 8.1.

However, before proceeding, you must confirm the hardware is compatible, purchase a Windows 10 (if applicable) license, and create a full backup in case you need to roll back. In addition, you want to make sure that the “Windows 7 Service Pack 1” is installed on the computer.

It is also recommended to uninstall any software (such as antivirus, security tools, and old third-party programs) that may prevent the successful upgrade to Windows 10. It would also help if you disconnected any hardware connected to the device, including printers, phones, cameras, external hard drives, and other USB peripherals, to help avoid problems.

This guide will teach you how to upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7, ensuring you do not run into issues during the installation. (If you prefer to upgrade by performing a clean installation, then follow these step-by-step instructions.)

Check requirements before upgrade to Windows 10 from 7

If you want to upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7, the computer must meet the minimum system requirements:

• Processor: 1GHz or faster CPU or System on a Chip (SoC).
• RAM: 1GB requirement for 32-bit or 2GB for 64-bit.
• Hard drive: 32GB clean install or new PC (16 GB for 32-bit or 20 GB for 64-bit existing installation).
• Graphics: DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver.
• Display resolution: 800×600 minimum requirement.
• Networking: Wi-Fi or Ethernet adapter.

You will also need to have the latest version of your current operating system, in this case, “Windows 7 Service Pack 1.” If you do not have this update already installed, you can download it here.

You can confirm the version of Windows by opening the Run command using the Windows key + R keyboard shortcut, typing winver, and clicking the OK button.

To upgrade your Windows 7 device, you need a valid Windows 10 product key. You may be able to use the existing Windows 7 product key, but it may or may not work. If you try and see the “This product key didn’t work. Please check it and try again, or try a different key” message, you will need to purchase a new license.

Create backup before upgrade to Windows 10 from 7

Although the upgrade process to Windows 10 is usually safe, there are always chances of problems, and to avoid any issues, you should make sure to have a full backup, which you can use to roll back if anything unexpected happens.

To create a full backup on Windows 7, connect an external hard drive, and use these steps:

1. Open Control Panel.

2. Click on System and Security.

3. Click on Backup and Restore.

   
   

4. Click the Create a system image option from the left pane.

   
   

5. Select the On a hard disk option.

   
   

6. Click the Next button.

7. Click the Start backup button.

   
   

8. Click the No button to confirm you do not want to create a system repair disc. (You can also use the Windows 10 or 7 bootable media.)

9. Click the Close button.

Once you complete the steps, the backup files will be saved on the external storage, which you can use if something goes wrong during the upgrade.

In addition to the system backup, you also want to create a backup of your files and web browser settings (favorites, passwords, and personal settings) to OneDrive or another cloud service or external drive if you need to restore them manually if the unexpected happens. If you need assistance, use this guide with the complete process to backup and restore Windows 7 and files.
