If you do an upgrade it will keep all of your programs and user data as it is. It is possible you might have some programs with compatibility issues but that is it.

You cannot do a dual boot unless you have two 7/8 license keys as the new key is generated based on your existing Windows 7/8 key.

soo if i understand you correctly i will lose Win 7 key and get Win 10 key??

In essence, yes. You are getting a free upgrade from 7 to 10 and cannot use both keys at once per the ToS.

Your other option is to buy a second key and get the free upgrade or buy 10 stand alone if you want to keep your current Windows 7 license.
