### In-place upgrade
|
||||
|
||||
For existing computers running Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1, the recommended path for organizations deploying Windows 10 uses the Windows installation program (Setup.exe) to perform an in-place upgrade, which automatically preserves all data, settings, applications, and drivers from the existing operating system version. An in-place upgrade requires the least IT effort, because there's no need for any complex deployment infrastructure.

|
||||
|
||||
The in-place upgrade process is designed to be reliable, with the ability to automatically roll back to the previous operating system if any issues are encountered during the deployment process, without any IT staff involvement. Rolling back manually can also be done by using the automatically created recovery information (stored in the Windows.old folder), in case any issues are encountered after the upgrade is finished. The upgrade process is also typically faster than traditional deployments, because applications don't need to be reinstalled as part of the process.
|
||||
|
||||
Because existing applications are preserved through the process, the upgrade process uses the standard Windows installation media image (Install.wim); custom images aren't needed and can't be used because the upgrade process is unable to deal with conflicts between apps in the old and new operating system. (For example, Contoso Timecard 1.0 in Windows 7 and Contoso Timecard 3.0 in the Windows 10 image.)

|

- **Legacy BIOS to UEFI booting**: To perform an in-place upgrade on a UEFI-capable system that currently boots using legacy BIOS, first perform the in-place upgrade to Windows 10, maintaining the legacy BIOS boot mode. Windows 10 doesn't require UEFI, so it will work fine to upgrade a system using legacy BIOS emulation. After the upgrade, if you wish to enable Windows 10 features that require UEFI (such as Secure Boot), you can convert the system disk to a format that supports UEFI boot using the [MBR2GPT](./mbr-to-gpt.md) tool. Note: [UEFI specification](http://www.uefi.org/specifications) requires GPT disk layout. After the disk has been converted, you must also configure the firmware to boot in UEFI mode.
