Well Windows 10 is the latest Windows Operating System released by Microsoft which addresses most of the issues with Windows 8 & 8.1. The redesigned start menu was not up to everyone’s taste. There are a large percentage of users who still uses Windows 7 due to the familiarity of the OS and its ease of use.

How to do an upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 10?

You will not be able to do an in-place upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 10. Also, XP upgrade is not eligible for the free upgrade which Microsoft was offering for the first year.

That works pretty well and it restored all the files and desktop apps and some apps where not compatible.

I hope this answers all your questions and doubts about the upgrade process. If you have questions, feel free to use the comment section.
