Directly upgrade your PC from Windows 7 or 8 to latest build of Windows 10

Once the OS launches later this year, Microsoft announced that all users who are using- Windows 8 and Windows 7 would receive a free upgrade to Windows 10 . With the release of the January Technical Preview, Microsoft is testing one of those systems.

 For those who are using Windows 7 or 8.1, that have so far stayed away from the technical previews of the new OS, there’s a new way which allows you to upgrade your devices: Windows Update. The process is simple and the system will install a whole new version of Windows as if it were like a regular update.

For starters, those interested need to go to insider.windows.com  to enable their machines to see the new version of the OS. After that, manually check for updates – we prefer using Control Panel for this, but PC Settings should work fine.

Updating can take a pretty long while, especially as Microsoft's servers are currently under heavy stress and because WU traditionally tries to not use up system resources. So make sure to give it a good long while - it took us a full 6 hours, though most of that was due to slow servers.

After the update is downloaded and unpacked, you'll need to restart your PC, after which it goes into the regular update process you'd go through with an ISO.

You'll find all you programs still working and most of your settings are still saved, so this should be an almost painless experience. Of course that's as long as you don't run into any of the common bugs.


Did you upgrade your machines ? If yes then share your experiences in comments below.

Desktop Curtain - Hide your clutter

Choose your focus Desktop Curtain displays a stylized curtain or image that you can use to cover as much—or as little—of your screen as you'd like. You can place the curtain or image… Behind the icons on your desktop, so it acts like a desktop image. On top of your desktop icons, instantly hiding the clutter. Behind the frontmost application, hiding everything but that application. On demand, behind the frontmost window to focus your attention on just that window.

Choose your look In addition to its built-in curtain, Desktop Curtain can use any picture file, the current OS X desktop picture, or a solid color as its curtain; the choice is yours. You can easily change the color of the stylized curtain, or of any image with translucency. Desktop Curtain also keeps track of your last 10 used images, making it simple to choose from recently-used images.

You're in control Desktop Curtain's settings give you full control over when and where you'll see its curtain (or image). On multi-monitor Macs, choose between the display with the menu bar or all connected displays. If you use Desktops (Spaces), choose whether Desktop Curtain shows on all Desktops, or just the current one. Optionally hide Desktop Curtain when entering Mission Control (Exposé). You also control the appearance of any images you use as curtains: their axes can be scaled proportionally or independently, or they can be centered or tiled.

Flexible features Desktop Curtain can be run in any of three modes (standard application, menu bar icon, or completely invisible), and offers fast access to its key features via a contextual menu on the curtain itself, via Dock pop-up menus, or via its menu bar icon's menus. You can define global hot keys to toggle the curtain's visibility or to isolate the frontmost window, and setting Desktop Curtain launch at login (with its curtain optionally hidden) is as simple as checking a box. There's even an optional 'boss mode' hot key that will cover everything, including the Dock and Command-Tab switcher.
