Ujunkem:What is the size of your hard disk and the free space? |
Re: See Ways To Prepare For Windows 10 Upgrade by dmcdad: 8:50am On Aug 04, 2015 |
Ujunkem:Okay. Head over to Microsoft's website and download Windows 10 as image file (ISO) and not as upgrade file. Infact, you can download it anywhere at this juncture even cause it should have been hosted by many sites by now. Download the ISO and upgrade, it would be hassle free that way than the Windows update thingy. Windows updates installation sometimes gives issues. Downloading it separately would really help. Works like a charm. |

all4naija: size is 465gb and free space is 161gb |

dmcdad: hmm |
Re: See Ways To Prepare For Windows 10 Upgrade by dmcdad: 9:26am On Aug 04, 2015 |
Ujunkem:Can you do that? |
Re: See Ways To Prepare For Windows 10 Upgrade by Ujunkem(f): 9:39am On Aug 04, 2015 |
dmcdad: i can. can i use a usb caped exactly at 4gb? |
Re: See Ways To Prepare For Windows 10 Upgrade by dmcdad: 10:00am On Aug 04, 2015 |
Ujunkem:Of course! As long as you are downloading just a version of it. But if you choose to download both 32 and 64bits versions, then you would need more than that. But, you shouldn't need more than just 32bit or 64 bits depending on what you have on your PC already (I would guess its 64bits). What OS version (in terms of bits) do you have on your PC? 32bits or 64bits? |
Re: See Ways To Prepare For Windows 10 Upgrade by Ujunkem(f): 10:50am On Aug 04, 2015 |
dmcdad: 64bits |
Re: See Ways To Prepare For Windows 10 Upgrade by dmcdad: 10:53am On Aug 04, 2015 |
Ujunkem:Okay. Just download the 64bit version only. Your 4GB Flash would be enough as the size is 3.12GB. Let me know when you done. It should be smooth-sailing. |
Re: See Ways To Prepare For Windows 10 Upgrade by Ujunkem(f): 10:55am On Aug 04, 2015 |
dmcdad: cant i just download the creation too and upgrade from there, wont it work? using a usb will be going through a lot of hassle for me |
Re: See Ways To Prepare For Windows 10 Upgrade by dmcdad: 10:58am On Aug 04, 2015 |
Ujunkem:I never talked about using USB before. You brought USB up. Of course with the Media Creation Tool, just download the ISO. After that, run the ISO file and you are good to go. You can use a USB Flash device if you want to do a clean install afresh, which is not the case here. So, just download and install. No need of a USB Flash device. |
Re: See Ways To Prepare For Windows 10 Upgrade by Ujunkem(f): 10:59am On Aug 04, 2015 |
dmcdad: alright thanks will let you know the out come |
Re: See Ways To Prepare For Windows 10 Upgrade by dmcdad: 11:00am On Aug 04, 2015 |
Ujunkem:Okay. |
Re: See Ways To Prepare For Windows 10 Upgrade by Nobody: 4:18pm On Aug 04, 2015 |
Ujunkem:Okay. Uninstall the anti-virus and try to do the setup again. |

Re: See Ways To Prepare For Windows 10 Upgrade by dmcdad: 7:25pm On Aug 04, 2015 |
Ujunkem:Mine sleeps whenever I put it to. Did you check on the settings? You might need to revisit the power settings. Check and revert back. |

sniperwolf:windows a dying os? Oh my god |
Re: See Ways To Prepare For Windows 10 Upgrade by nonny1212: 7:30am On Aug 05, 2015 |
dmcdad:like, my brightness can't be tuned to low or high, it is just stagnant at level. There is no option of putting the computer to sleep. Whenever I try to run NFS most wanted it keeps popin an error message |
Re: See Ways To Prepare For Windows 10 Upgrade by dmcdad: 8:39am On Aug 05, 2015 |
nonny1212:Did you go through your Windows settings? Because it seems you can't find it in the usual Power settings. If you go through the Windows 10 settings from the Start Menu, to personalisation, you would see where to change your desktop background, brightness, and a host of other settings. As for the NFSMW, what is the error about? Explain... |
Re: See Ways To Prepare For Windows 10 Upgrade by xtervaganza(m): 9:09am On Aug 05, 2015 |
sniperwolf:and then you said windows is a dying os? So who's dumb then |
Re: See Ways To Prepare For Windows 10 Upgrade by nonny1212: 9:10am On Aug 05, 2015 |
dmcdad:i guess its from the drivers ... the brightness cant be tuned down or high..... av done all u said about it. If u are on Whatsapp chat me with this number 08164272477 |
Re: See Ways To Prepare For Windows 10 Upgrade by Ujunkem(f): 6:58pm On Aug 05, 2015 |
nonny1212: Update will fix all that it did for me.....just search for windows through setting ,download and install |
Re: See Ways To Prepare For Windows 10 Upgrade by dmcdad: 9:53pm On Aug 05, 2015 |
Ujunkem:We already fixed it. It was with the graphics driver that got updated. |

dmcdad: I'm using Windows 7, do i have to follow these rules before i can upgrade my windows to 10? |
Re: See Ways To Prepare For Windows 10 Upgrade by dmcdad: 10:54pm On Aug 05, 2015 |
sinizia:Nope! Just upgrade. You are good to go with Windows 7. I would say you download the ISO file, then run the upgrade. |
Re: See Ways To Prepare For Windows 10 Upgrade by sinizia: 11:09pm On Aug 05, 2015 |
dmcdad: Thanks. Where can i get the ISO file? A link will be helpful. |
Re: See Ways To Prepare For Windows 10 Upgrade by dmcdad: 11:49pm On Aug 05, 2015 |
sinizia:You can get it through the media creation tool provided by Microsoft on their website. |
Re: See Ways To Prepare For Windows 10 Upgrade by sinizia: 7:02am On Aug 06, 2015 |
dmcdad: Aite. Thanks bro. One last question. My disk is partitioned into C and D. C has 4 gig space remaining while D has 10 gig space remaining, can it support the upgrade or should i free up more space? |
Re: See Ways To Prepare For Windows 10 Upgrade by Ujunkem(f): 7:12am On Aug 06, 2015 |
dmcdad: Alright. |
Re: See Ways To Prepare For Windows 10 Upgrade by dmcdad: 7:26am On Aug 06, 2015 |
sinizia:Free up more space on the drive Windows was installed. If C is your Windows drive, free up more space. And if D, do same. |
