This article provides a summary of available upgrade paths to Windows 10. You can upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7 or a later operating system. Paths include upgrading from one release of Windows 10 to later release of Windows 10. Migrating from one edition of Windows 10 to a different edition of the same release is also supported.
If you're also migrating to a different edition of Windows, see [Windows 10 edition upgrade](windows-10-edition-upgrades.md). Methods and supported paths are described on this page to change the edition of Windows. These methods require that you input a license or product key for the new Windows edition prior to starting the upgrade process. Edition downgrade is also supported for some paths. However, applications and settings aren't maintained when the Windows edition is downgraded.

- **Windows 10 version upgrade**: You can directly upgrade any General Availability Channel version of Windows 10 to a newer, supported General Availability Channel version of Windows 10, even if it involves skipping versions. Work with your account representative if your current version of Windows is out of support. See the [Windows lifecycle fact sheet](/lifecycle/faq/windows) for availability and service information.

- **Windows version upgrade**: You can directly upgrade any General Availability Channel version of Windows to a newer, supported General Availability Channel version of Windows, even if it involves skipping versions. Work with your account representative if your current version of Windows is out of support. See the [Windows lifecycle fact sheet](/lifecycle/faq/windows) for availability and service information.
- **Upgrade from Windows LTSC to Windows General Availability Channel**: Upgrade from Windows LTSC to Windows General Availability Channel is available when upgrading to the same or a newer build version. For example, Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB can be upgraded to Windows 10 Enterprise 22H2. Upgrade is supported using the in-place upgrade process using Windows setup. The Product Key switch needs to be used if apps need to be kept. If the switch isn't used, the option **Keep personal files and apps** option is grayed out. The command line to perform the upgrade is:
```cmd
setup.exe /pkey xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
```
where **xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx** is the Windows General Availability Channel product key. For example, if using a KMS, the command line for Windows Enterprise would be:
```cmd
setup.exe /pkey NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43
```
