First, go to Microsoft's official website to go to the next mini tool "Win8 Upgrade Assistant", and click "Start Now" on the page to start downloading. After downloading and clicking run, the installation process is officially started.
Download Win8 Update Assistant
After the software starts running, the first thing is to check the compatibility of your computer to determine whether your computer can upgrade Win8 and in which way. Because we use Win7, we can directly upgrade it.
After the compatibility check is completed, go to the next step and select the content to be retained. Here, Microsoft provides three methods: "Windows settings, personal files and applications", "keep personal files only", and "do not retain any content ". Here is the key. After selecting the first one, we can retain all the content and settings in Win7.
Select reserved content
Now, the detection part of the current computer is over, and the following will be the purchase part of Windows 8. You only need to enter the actual content and credit card information as required. After successful purchase, you will receive an activation serial number from Microsoft.
Purchased product key
After the purchase is complete, continue "next". Then the computer starts to download Win8 content, and all we have to do is wait. After the download is complete, you can select "Install Now", "install by creating media", or "install from the desktop later". Let's install it directly.
Select installation method
The following operations are very simple. As long as you constantly "next", agree to the agreement, and confirm whether all content is retained, wait for the installation to complete.
By installing Win8 in this way, all the original compatible software, files, images, videos and other multimedia content in Win7 will be retained, and even the original system settings will be retained. Let's start a new Win8 journey.
