almost ten years Ago Windows 7 came to the market. The operating system is still enjoying great popularity with many people, Because the people that Windows 10 is not like the visual or the the new licensing model not like with the automatic Updates. On the other, there is a group of users, looks at the latest variant of Microsoft’s system software of its privacy in danger.

But soon to upgrade to Windows 10 (or is for the Update holdouts to change to a platform, be it Linux or Mac) is unavoidable. Microsoft has announced that the Support will be adjusted after ten years in the near future. There is no security-Updates. Exceptions are companies that are willing to pay for further updates. Therefore, it is the unacceptable risk to keep Windows 7 more in operation.

For this transition, there are two possibilities, and we both explain in detail in the Video:

Either you create a new Computer. He has a pre-installed Windows 10, so you don’t have to deal with the updating of the operating system. However, you need to transfer your documents and data to the new Computer.

by hand or a helpful program

And this is not as easy as it used to. Microsoft has pulled the handy Windows Easy Transfer program from the market. You must transfer the data manually to the new Computer or the Software a third-party.

The second way is to upgrade the old PC to Windows 10. This is technically probably possible, since most of the PC are Windows 7 compatible, can also run Windows 10. The Problem, however, is that the change is free of charge: Microsoft has set the “Get Windows 10″program in July 2016. However, there is a Trick that the transition seems to be possible free of charge. Many users and media reports that this method works as before, and also in the case of our test run, this was the case. However, we can’t promise that this will be so, and the trick is for all users to apply. Because, as I said, Officially Windows must be 10 bought; the Home version is for 160 francs.

conclusion: We recommend to take the switch sooner rather than later. And with regard to the risks to the privacy: In the post Windows useful setup, we explain how to configure the System so that Microsoft learns about you than is absolutely necessary. What do you do against a breakdown during the Update, explained suggests the contribution of Windows in the stupidest Moment of the cross. (Tages-Anzeiger.ch/Newsnet)
