As of now i have a genuine copy of windows 7 ultimate (64-bit). I'm trying to use the free upgrade that microsoft gives here -->https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/windows10upgrade but everytime i run it, it never downloads anything. It just sits still at 0 % until it gets a timeout and an error. I need any sort of help and or suggestions. Thank you

No, I didn't pay 300 i paid more like ~100. But it seems to work fine it has the little genuine thingy logo and i can use windows updates just fine.[/quotemsg]

And the next time you wish to install or upgrade, it may choke.
Sorry, but a valid price for Win 7 U is not $100.

Upgrading it to Win 10 may work, it may fail.

You probably do not need the assistive technologies thing.

Go here> https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Download the MediaCreation Tool.
Build your own USB or DVD install thing.
Boot from that
Go.
See what happens.

will i need to enter a windows 10 license? I don't have one nor have the funds right now to buy one.
I just have my windows 7 64 bit but i forgot my license key.

Probably not.
Where did your Windows 7 Ultimate come from?

Unless you paid about $300 for it, I strongly doubt the validity of that Win 7 Ultimate license.
