Windows 10 Is Now Running!!
Summary:
When I originally clicked on the upgrade link from MS, it started the process but asked for the Win 7 product key. (But rejected it)
I then tried ISO files. This again asked for the Win 7 key & rejected it.
In post #34 by NavyLCDR, he provided a link. I had not seen this webpage in any previous attempts. From within Win 7, it downloaded and installed 10 without any reference to the 7 key! It was so easy, but why did the original upgrade link from MS ask for the key?
I am very grateful to all who responded, even though it seems to have caused some controversy! Thanks for your help and advice.

If I were you Peter, I would make a complete image backup and store this in a safe place. Just incase something goes wrong with your Windows 10 at a later date. This will give you insurance and the ability to restore your Windows 10. A good image backup program is Macrium Reflect, lots of us on here use this. Here is the link, and its a Free program also.
