Using the tips and tricks below, the switch from Windows 7 to Windows 10 is a piece of cake!
Why switch from Windows 7?
There are countless reasons why a switch from Windows 7 to Windows 10 is wise. To start with the most important reason: the support from Microsoft for Windows 7 ends on January 14, 2020. Because of this, countless problems arise. Although you can still continue to use this operating system “normally”, the system will no longer receive security updates. This ensures that your personal information is at great risk if you continue to use Windows 7 next year. Security leaks will no longer be repaired. Hackers can therefore continue to make endless use of these unsafe situations.
Moreover, new applications and computer components will no longer function regularly in combination with Windows 7. It is often the case that certain hardware is no longer compatible with this dated Microsoft Operating System. An example of this is the newest processors from Intel, which only work on systems with Windows 10. Furthermore, the newest games, graphic applications and even office software will no longer function on PCs with Windows 7.
Tips before you switch
Most computer users are not looking forward to converting their operating system to the latest version. After all, it seems to take a lot of time and effort to make everything run smoothly.

Therefore, follow the following tips before switching from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and avoid losing personal information.
Make a backup
The first tip before switching from Windows operating system is to back up important documents. Although switching is usually trouble-free, failures and errors can always occur. Therefore save photos, videos and personal files, for example on an external hard drive or at a cloud storage location.
