IMPORTANT:

• See the website of each computer manufacturer to check whether your computer is a compatible model for Windows 10 upgrading and support. When you upgrade a non-compatible model for Windows 10 upgrading, the computer may not work normally. So it is recommended to use a computer equipped with the same OS as the one you are using.
• If the USB device is not recognized or you want to revert to the previous OS after upgrading the computer to Windows 10, check the support site of each computer manufacturer.

1. Turn on the computer.
