[Blazekein]

No, but you need a key. Did you follow the upgrade path? https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/accessibility/windows10upgrade

You can also check their upgrade path here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/upgrade/windows-10-upgrade-paths

I would recommend you try ot get the pro verision as it has more features. Is your Windows 7 copy genuine?

 

[Blazekein]

Yes,My windows is genuine and I download windows 10 from this link https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows10

 

[Herc08]

That is how you will get the copy of windows, but you still need a key. Go to the first link in my post, and actually upgrade to Windows 10 Pro.

Did you buy a key for Windows 10? It is not free.

The Windows 10 installer will accept the Windows 7 key.

 

[Blazekein]

How about this link https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows10 does it the same the link you gave me?

 

[Herc08]

How about this link https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows10 does it the same the link you gave me?

I just said that link is how to get the copy of Windows 10, but not the key.

1) Get the upgrade here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/accessibility/windows10upgrade

2) Once you have the key, then go here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows10

Note: Make sure you have a 8GB USB drive. And that's it.

So If I was upgrading I use the first link then I use the second one for windows 10 key?

 

[Rocky Bennett]

No, the second link is the download for the actual installation of Windows 10.

 

[Blazekein]

No, the second link is the download for the actual installation of Windows 10.

the first link is for upgrading?

 

[Rocky Bennett]

No, the second link is the download for the actual installation of Windows 10.

the first link is for upgrading?

Have you even tried to click on the links?

 

[Rocky Bennett]

The links are self-explanatory if you actually bothered to try them.

 

[Herc08]

I'm sorry I thought I made it simiple.

FIRST, you are going to click on https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/accessibility/windows10upgrade and you will get a key. Save this key as you will need it later.

SECOND, click on https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 and download the tool. This will allow you to actually get the official copy of Windows. Use that tool and plug in a 8GB USB thumb drive. Then use the thumb drive to install it, and you are going to use the key you got from the FIRST link.

Hope that is clear.

 

[Rocky Bennett]

Herc08, I thought that you made your original post very clear, but thanks for clarifying it for all who are interested.

The Windows 10 installer will accept the Windows 7 key.

I am sure it will, whether it will activate based on it is another question. If op had upgraded prior to July last year and decided to use win 7 or 8 instead, they would have a Digital entitlement to win 10 on PC and not need to enter code at all really.

You cannot upgrade from 7 to 10 anymore except with method mentioned by Herc, its not free any other way so a 7 key won't really help

just passing through

Microsoft has not been enforcing/blocking it. Others have reported that it still activates just fine.

 

[Blazekein]

And 1 more question does the key I need pay or get for free?

 

[Colif]

If you use the assistive technologies upgrade, the key it uses is your win 7 key so its free.

If you use any other method you have to pay for it.

Ahh yes. That is why it pays to read the information on the site once you click into it. The word FREE is displayed very large at the top of the page and also in the text.
