User Manual 1178.7200.02 ─ 09

The upgrade consists of the following processes:
● Booting WinPE to create a recovery partition. When this is done, the R&S

 

QAR

restarts.

● Copying the calibration data to the USB stick.
● Installing the Windows 10 image.
● Copying the calibration data back to the R&S

 

QAR.

● Installing the R&S

 

QAR measurement application.

The whole process takes about 15 to 30 minutes (depending on the amount of cali-
bration data).

14. Select "Settings" > "System" > "About" from the Windows Start menu to rename

the computer to the name recorded in 

step 6

 (

QAR-xxxxxx

).

15. Restart the R&S

 

QAR.

Activating the Windows license

After the upgrade, you have to activate the Windows 10 license. To upgrade the
license, you have to log into the system as an administrator (user name = 

Admin

,

password = 

emodar8Administrator

).

1. Start the 

slui

 application ( search for 

slui

 in the Start menu).

2. Enter the product key from the license sticker and confirm with "Next".

3. Follow the instructions on the screen.
