I bought a new computer with Windows 8. My old computer has Windows 7.

[WPCentral Question]

I want to transfer my old computer files to my new computer. I want to update my new computer to Windows 10. Do I have to update my new computer to Windows 8.1 before I can update to Windows 10? Should I update my new computer to Windows 10 before or after I transfer my old Windows 7 computer files? Thanks.

Windows 10 only updates 8.1, not 8. So if it really has 8.0 then you will need to go into the Store and upgrade to 8.1.

This may help move files. Doesn't matter at what point you transfer them. Microsoft offers PCMover Express for free to help transfer old PC files to Windows 10 | Windows Central
