1OPERATING SYSTEMBackgroundThe upgrades of Windows 10 are available automatically to the user who is usingWindows 7 or Windows 8. The FSET (The Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology) inSwinburne University of Technology has planned to upgrade the operating environment fromWindows 7 to Windows 10 in all its computer laboratory rooms. To upgrade its Windows from 7to 10, the FSET has to go through different steps for upgrading its operating system. Steps to be followed prior to Installing Windows 10Before upgrading all the system in a computer laboratory, some points are to be kept inmind. Firstly there should be enough space in the system to install and upgrade Windows 10.Half of the hard drive in all the systems should be kept to upgrade Windows 10 from Windows 7without loss of any data or program files (Wash et al. 2014). Minimum of free space of 20GB isto be kept empty in each of the system having 64 bit version. Some information such as accountsinformation, login id, login passwords and all the similar type of details are lost for theupgradation of Windows 10. If the systems that are used in laboratories are old modeled, then thesystems must install all the drivers that are required by Windows 10 to cover the hardwarecomponents. Drivers must be included in Windows 10 that supports all the hardware componentsthat are available in the market (Cline et al. 2014). The system must have all backup done beforestarting the upgrade. When upgrade is available in the system, the system shows popupautomatically. All the personal files of the systems should be kept as backup to an externalstorage and also make a full system backup in all the systems using a built-in tool known as

2OPERATING SYSTEMSystem Image Backup Tool (Chuchro et al. 2015). The upgrading system of Windows 10 is verystraightforward. All these backups are to be kept for safety purpose. The next step that is to be kept in mind before upgrading a system to Windows 10 is thatif antivirus is installed in the system, then it must be uninstalled or should be made disabled. Allother software that provides security to system should be disabled or is uninstalled. Only thehardware peripherals such as mouse, keyboard and monitor should be connected to the systemsin the laboratory (Ying, Xin and He 2014). All the applications that are not used and thoseapplications that are listed by Get Windows 10 should be uninstalled. These peripherals createsproblem for installing Windows 10 in the systems. These are done automatically by theapplication known as “Get Windows 10”. This app will scan the full system for applicationcompatibility. If there exists issue that prevents the system from upgradation, then the list ofapplication that prevents the upgrading system is notified on the screen. If it as accepted, all theapplication that prevents the upgrading process will be removed from all the system beforeupgrade. Before removing the applications all the list must be noted (Belhaiza, Hansen andLaporte 2014). The Microsoft applications that are standard and all the common software arepreserved. Older version of Microsoft Office, some tax and accounting software, games, thirdparty applications and custom applications can develop some issues after upgrading Windows 10or may top working. To have complete successful installation of Windows 10, backup of thesystem should be done before installation process and restore process should be done after theinstallation is complete. Before starting upgrade process, all the files and applications are to besecurely backed up.
