It seems that Microsoft with the release of a test version of its new Windows 10 may also include other methods of updating. Neowin forum users have found that it is now possible to update the Windows 7 Technical Preview version. All this while maintaining user data and installed applications. The most interesting, the whole process is done using Windows Update, which may indicate that this edition will be delivered in such a way that after the release of final release.
Of course the system without any treatment did not show us in the Windows Update update. To get it, it is necessary to enter the page program Insider, and download the appropriate package of the update, which it unlocks. From the top be warned: do not get married package from the available in Polish. It is necessary to take advantage of its English counterpart. As the service does not have the option of switching the language, we have prepared a special link right away, just to enter it after logging in to the Insider. From this site you can download a small file (about 5 MB), which unlocks after installation in Windows Update possibility to update. To pay, you must have a key retail (not OEM), designed for the country in which we find ourselves. The whole process of the members of that forum takes a little over an hour, but you should take an amendment to the specification of the computer – everybody it may look different.
Sorry we did not manage to install this extension, or Windows 7 Professional, or the Ultimate version of dogranym English, because the problem suggests displayed error. Certainly provide an update is not an error, because many users have reported the ability to perform the upgrade, and its correct installation. After approval system automatically retrieves all the required files, and then the metamorphosis of our Windows 7 to the Technical Preview. All this without losing applications and user data, but because of the fact that it is a test version, we may come across unexpected problems. It is possible that Microsoft will enable us to upgrade to a new system with, among others, function virtual desktops and refreshed Start menu in this way.
Recall that the Windows 8.1 update was distributed via the Windows Store integrated with the system. Slightly smaller package Update 1 has been released, in turn, use Windows Update. There would therefore be no surprise that Windows 10 hit on our computers for his help. Let’s hope the company manages to overcome many problems that faced so far in this type of surgery, and that made it impossible for many people to update. For now, welcome to our test version of the Technical Preview, as well as its installation on virtual machines, or next to a system for production use. It’s still a beta version, which may behave unexpectedly.
