again: how to upgrade 7 PRO to 10 PRO

gang I need to create windows 10 media and use it to upgrade a fresh Windows 7 Professional x64 to Win 10 PRO.
how do I do that? the media creator only gives the limited options as discussed here in the past. this system has never had windows 10 of any flavor on it so... it is currently activated Windows 7 Professional.

can I add the PID file to the usb after it has been created as generic windows 10? will it work? what is the syntax and is the filename PID.txt or pid.txt ?
