Ed is somewhere playing with Windows 10, and he left me on my own to upgrade my computer. He says it will be a good experience for me. I am not sure what he really means by that. But I am quite confidant that I can do this, and it will be a good experience.<\/p>\n
Steps to upgrade to Windows 10<\/h2>\n
There are several things I need to do to make sure that things go well. The first thing I want to do is back up my data. This is pretty easy because I have all of my data stored in a single folder. I just copy that to my One Drive online storage.<\/p>\n
The next thing I do is make sure that I have my email account information written down. I use three different email accounts, and I want to make sure I know how to reconfigure them when the installation is complete.<\/p>\n
I am planning on doing a fresh install because I need to clean-up my computer anyway. Luckily, I have an MSDN account, so I download Windows 10, burn a DVD, and get ready for my installation.<\/p>\n
Installation is quick<\/h2>\n
I boot off of the DVD, and shortly I am presented with the installation screen. I choose US English and click Next<\/b>.<\/p>\n
I choose to install it now.<\/p>\n I then have to enter my registration number, and select that I want to do an advanced fresh install. I select the disk and format it. Then the Windows setup begins copying files and proceeds with the installation.<\/p>\n When the installation is complete, the next screen asks about logging on and asks if I want to do a quick setup. I say OK<\/b>.<\/p>\n Now it configures my applications.<\/p>\n A few minutes later, I am presented with the start screen. I click the Edge web browser and enter my favorite website:<\/p>\n Cool, it works! So I think I am going to play around with Windows 10 for a little while. Windows automation is all about reducing work, and so I am not going to reinvent the wheel. There is a great series of articles written by Deb Shinder called Windows 10: Nearing the Finish Line<\/a> that I really enjoyed reading. I hope you will enjoy them too.<\/p>\n ~Teresa<\/p>\n I invite you to follow me on Twitter<\/a> and Facebook<\/a>.
