Recently, some users of operating systems have begun to complain that they are not getting an upgrade to Windows 10. In truth, these are very dubious complaints. After all, often people try to deal with operating system updates, and not download them. Let's try to understand whether it is worth being upset if the Windows 10 update does not work. It’s also worthwhile to figure out what to do if you decide to do the “update” yourself.
Benefit or harm
But first, let’s try to understand whether you really need to be upset if updates to the operating system do not come. It's no secret that Microsoft now has a lot of problems and shortcomings with Windows 10 . So often, users try their best to disable the update and messages offering to update.
Thus, we can say that one should really rejoice at the lack of messages from the "Update Center". Why? If you do not receive an upgrade to Windows 10, then you do not risk sooner or later to remain without the operating system that you are used to. So if the use of innovations from Microsoft is not planned, it is better not to panic and calm down. If you wish, you can always download the service pack for Windows 10 from the World Wide Web, and then manually perform all the manipulations.
When problems arise
Now it’s worth considering - why do not updates come? Anything can become the cause of this phenomenon. From the slightest system failure to major problems with the operating system. But users most often note several fairly simple and not very dangerous reasons for which they do not get an upgrade to Windows 10.
These include the old version of the system, for example. So, owners of "Windows" older than the "seven" can not take advantage of automatic updates. In general, in no way and under any conditions. Everything will have to be done manually, independently.
Another reason is a system failure. It is fixed very quickly and easily. But more on that later.
Among other things, if a pirated version of the software is installed on the computer, then we can only hope that the update will not appear by itself. Some version collectors often simply disable this feature. For the "pirates" it is very convenient. You won’t have to think again how to fix the situation.
If you have an operating system in which there is no backup at all, then you do not need to hope for an automatic update . It is excluded. As is the case with later versions of Windows: there is no way to fix the situation.
What to do
But what if you do not receive an upgrade to Windows 10? In truth, there are several options for the development of events. If this kind of behavior was caused by a crash or error in the operating system, then just restarting the "Update Center" is enough. Did not help? Then yourself using this service, check for all updates, download them and install. The problem will be solved.
In addition, practice shows that sometimes, if an update to Windows 10 does not come, you need to update the drivers on the computer. It helps, but rarely. Often, just working a little with the Update Center is enough.
In the case of pirated copies of Windows, it is better not to experiment. Leave it as it is. And if you need to upgrade, you have to buy a licensed copy of the operating system. Or download a pirate from Windows 10.
Do it yourself
However, if you don’t feel like puzzling over automatic updating of the operating system, you can carry out the entire process manually. This method is used when old versions of Windows are available on the computer.
What is required? Download a special update package on your computer from the official Microsoft website, install the Media Creation Tool application, and then use it to complete the entire process. Or create an installation disk. Sometimes you have to purchase a licensed copy of Windows 10 directly in the store. That's all. As you can see, it is not so difficult to correct the situation if you know where to start.
