You can download the Windows 10 installation media from Microsoft’s website. Then use your Windows 7 or 8.1 product key during the installation process.

Unofficial methods: There are some unofficial methods available on the internet that allow you to upgrade to Windows 10 for free. However, we do not recommend using these methods as they are not supported by Microsoft and can pose security risks to your computer.

It’s important to note that if you do upgrade to Windows 10 using any of these methods. You may encounter compatibility issues with older software and hardware. Therefore, it’s recommended to check with your software and hardware manufacturers. Ensure that they are compatible with Windows 10 before upgrading.
