Some users report that the upgrade prompt appears if you use the official Media Creation Tool, even without a formal offer. An in-place upgrade preserves your files, settings, and apps but may carry over some issues. Please check compatibility if you are going to upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. Make sure your PC meets the Windows 10 system requirements:
- Processor: 1 GHz or faster.
- RAM: 1 GB for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit.
- Storage: 16 GB for 32-bit or 20 GB for 64-bit.
- Graphics card: DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver.
- Display: 800x600 resolution.
While many users have successfully case of upgraded Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 free, Microsoft’s official free upgrade offer ended, so results may vary.
