    All downloaded. I've come to a drastic halt, and I know why. First I dont have a spare cd - I presume that is required for a dis burner, and currently my portable disc drive wont work bvecause I apparently have some other stuff to burn, and can't get rid of it as I've misplaced the cd from whic the information belongs (Windows 2003)

    Any suggestions - of an alternative?

    You don't need any media. Simply have the ISO saved on your desktop. See the video at approximately 14:40 on how to "MOUNT" the ISO and run setup.exe to perform the upgrade. (as I said in post #3)

    Well the download saved itself to downloads, I copied it across to desktop but don't know if it will work. I looked at the video, it was a bit intimidating. I didn't see "MOUNT" the ISO . Bit nervous about doing this.

    Okay so you've got the ISO on your desktop - good. In Windows 7, there is no native feature to mount an ISO like there is in Windows 8, which is why you have to watch the video. At approximately 21:30 it shows how to mount an ISO using 7-Zip, which is a free 3rd-party compression utility.

    So, download 7-Zip and install it.
    http://www.7-zip.org/
    Go to the ISO which you have copied on to your desktop.
    Right-click the ISO and do exactly as in the video:
    Starting about 21:30 in the video
    Open 7-Zip
    Navigate to the ISO on the Desktop
    Right-click and select 7-Zip>Extract Here
    7-Zip will then extract all the files within the ISO to your desktop.
    Once complete, close 7-Zip.
    Find the file on your desktop named setup.exe
    Double-click it and your upgrade will begin.
    Be prepared, as it will take a while.

    If you want to read the tutorial on how to extract files from an ISO in Windows 7, see this:
    SevenForums.com Tutorial
    ISO - Disk Image File : Extract to the Desktop in Windows 7
    ISO - Disk Image File : Extract to the Desktop - Windows 7 Help Forums

    Please just be sure you have all your important data backed up, just in case something happens. Usually, if there is a problem with the upgrade and it can't be completed, Windows will roll you back to your Windows 7 installation. But, every once and a while, some people have had problems with the rollback, so it's best to be safe and back up your data before upgrading.

    Good luck. Really, it's not so bad. :)

    Not going too good. The copy of w10 I transferred from docs to desktop is actually to burn
    I downloaded 7 zip and where you said to run setup files, I get a different window. I really think I need to start all over again

    Sure - it is entitled Win10_1511_1Englishx64 and seems to be a disc image file ( I may have mentioned this before)

    I tried to attach it but as its 4310.660kbs, it wont load. When I click on it tho, this screen comes up

    Disregard that one, I mean to show what happens when I click on the Win10 file
