I have some systems where people had a Windows 7 laptop and a desktop and will only be getting one or the other with Windows 10. So, some are two for one.

w10 upgrade of lenovo laptop that will not upgrade, even when told to employ scorched earth policy and nuke all living bits!

@scottalanmiller's post above has had me wondering.no mate, 64 bit with 8GB RAM.
If I boot up on a bootable W10 USB to install W10, will it or won't it see the existing W7 license and use that?
I've only been running setup.exe from within W7.

It'll nab the key from the mobo.
I find it best to take as much Windows out of the equation as possible.I haven't been upgrading the Win7 PC's here. We're wiping and reloading. Too much fluffing about.

@siringo you're only on SP1, you have to manually update before you can upgrade.

I've seen that stop upgrades before.
Someone recently posted the command line for doing the upgrade and telling it to skip checking for updates.

This assumes the machine is built like that. I don't think that started happening until sometime after 2012, maybe 2011.
