Window 8 to Window 10

[Danish]

Since Windows 95, Windows 10 is the biggest overhaul of the operating system. Even so, Windows 8 is greatly stable and shows any signs of errors, bugs, glitches, and other consequences that can irritate you. It is more stable than Windows 10. Frankly speaking, Windows 10 is a bit unstable

Upgrade Windows 8 to Windows 10
Even if you don’t see a message from the get windows 10 app on the taskbar, if the upgrade files have been downloaded to your PC, you can start the process via Windows Update.

However, you won’t be doing it through Windows Update in the modern Settings app. If you try, you will see the following message:

Windows 8 Updates
You need to use the desktop version of Windows Update. To do that, use the keyboard shortcut Windows Key+X or right-click the Start button and select Control Panel from the power user menu – which is also available in Windows 10 (it’s called the Quick Access menu in 10).

Control Panel Windows 8
Scroll down to the bottom of the Control Panel and select Windows Update.

Windows Update
You’ll see the Windows 10 upgrade is ready. Just click the “Get Started” button.

After that, you get the option to begin the upgrade now or schedule it for a later time. Again, just like upgrading Windows 7, you only get a three-day window to schedule the upgrade.

Schedule upgrade
After it starts, sit back, grab a coffee because the process can take quite a while.

You’ll get the familiar screen shown below that lets you know where the upgrade process is at. If it seems to hang, be patient, especially the first couple of weeks…a lot of people are upgrading at the same time. Also, note that your PC will restart a few times, just let it do its thing.
After it completes, you’ll get a Welcome Back screen, and you start clicking through the on-screen setup instructions.

Unless you’re particular about how you want your Windows settings, go with Express Settings during setup (versus custom settings). It allows you to get up and running a lot faster. If you want to make any adjustments, you can do that later.

Express Settings Windows 10
It will also tell you about new apps like Groove Music, Movies & TV app, Microsoft Store, Photos, and the new Edge browser. And after that, you can log in with the Microsoft account credentials you used for Windows 8.1.

Log into Windows 10
Next, you’ll need to wait a bit while Microsoft sets up your apps and gets things ready for you.

When that’s done, you will be brought to your new Windows 10 desktop and can start checking out all of the cool new features like the new Start menu, Cortana, and Action Center.

Also, keep in mind that there will be updates waiting for you. Windows 10 requires that you install updates automatically, so you will get them without thinking about it. But, if you want to make sure you have everything updated right away after the upgrade completes, go to Settings > Update & Security > Check for Updates.

Windows 8 is too old I think, most of the software and applications now support windows 10. Yes, Windows 10 had a lot of stability problems after release, including different security problems and device compatibility, but now Windows 10 is more stable compared with the latest Windows 11 version.

By the way, thank you, RachelGomez, for the user guide. This info would be very helpful for people who will decide to switch their OS to Windows 10. Also, it would be great if you would post the same guide about upgrading your Windows 10 to Windows 11, for those who will get the proper (Spam removed by Mod) will try out the latest Windows version.

I used to use Windows 8 and as soon as version 10 came out I immediately installed it. Initially, the new operating system worked poorly and crashes often. But then Microsoft released an update and the operating system started working much better. Also, problems may be due to the fact that you are using a pirated version of Windows, so it is better to buy a Windows 10 activation key for a more comfortable use. Buying a licensed version will give you access to all Microsoft products forever.

Windows 8 is now obsolete. As far as I can tell, most modern programs are compatible with Windows 10. At its first release, Windows 10 experienced a number of stability issues, such as incompatibilities with certain devices and varying security flaws. However, the operating system is now more reliable than the most recent version of Windows 11.

Windows 8 era has now ended. Windows 10 is upgraded with the latest features and has amazing security protection.
