    To upgrade a Windows 7 laptop to Windows 10:

    1. Update Windows 7 first.
      • Open Control Panel.
      • Search for Windows Update.
      • Select Check for updates and install the latest updates.
    2. Create Windows 10 installation media on a USB flash drive.
      • Follow the instructions in Create installation media for Windows.
    3. Insert the Windows 10 USB drive into the Dell Latitude E6530.
    4. From Windows 7, start the upgrade.
      • If a pop-up appears, select Run setup.exe.
      • If it does not appear:
        • Open Windows Explorer.
        • Select Computer.
        • Under Devices with Removable Storage, right-click the Windows 10 installation media.
        • Select Install or run program from your media.
    5. If User Account Control appears, select Yes. If prompted, enter an administrator account name and password.
    6. In Windows 10 Setup, continue until the Product key page, enter the Windows 10 product key, and complete the wizard.

    If the laptop cannot start Windows 7 normally, a clean install from USB is another option:

    1. Create bootable Windows installation media on a USB drive.
    2. Insert the USB drive and restart the PC.
    3. During startup, press the BIOS or boot menu key such as F2, F12, or DEL.
    4. Set or choose the USB drive as the boot device.
    5. Follow Windows Setup to install Windows.

    Note: A clean install can remove existing files, so back up important data first.

    Hi! Here’s Dell’s English video showing how to create a Windows 10 installation USB and perform a clean installation:

    You’ll need a blank USB drive of at least 8 GB. Back up your important files first, as a clean installation removes your files and installed apps.
