Well MS offers downloads of Windows 7 SP1 ISOs by DigitalRiver.
And 30 days trial is more than enough to upgrade to Windows 10.

No longer - MS has been moving off DR over the past couple of years. First they moved everything to one or two servers, then they moved everything to their own servers. You can still download Win7 ISO, but you need a license to pull it down.

You can pull down a Windows 8 ISO without a key, but you need the key to install (unless it's an OEM machine with the key in BIOS)
One way or another, you need a license key.
So, basically if we don't have a UEFI BIOS, then we can't get Windows 10?
According to this story, the free upgrade for pirated copies may be a little confusing, apparently if the version of windows is non-genuine then it will still be classed as non-genuine after the upgrade...
The Windows 10 free upgrade for pirates: More confusing than it seems | Ars TechnicaIf a device was considered non-genuine or mislicensed prior to the upgrade, that device will continue to be considered non-genuine or mislicensed after the upgrade." We reached out to Microsoft for clarification, to find out what it actually means to have a non-genuine copy of Windows 10. "We don’t have anything further to share outside of the statement at the moment.
There always has to be the 'Grass Is Greener Over There WAAAAHHHH!!' folks. You're getting Windows 10 for free, OK? No reason to moan about someone else's cabbage patch and look to scam a refund to boot through the manufacture of a false equivalency.
Just enjoy you're getting Windows 10 for FREE.
Then that means there won't be 32 bit windows 10 even though Microsoft provided it with the windows 10 previews. I am not upgrading if I have to use UEFI. I have UEFI but I also multiple boot with other operating systems some are UEFI and some are not. I don't want to have to re-install my other operating system. I also read people have problems with Macrium Reflect if UEFI enabled.
When People were paying $100 to upgrade Windows they were complaining, when they were paying $39 they were complaining, when they were paying $20 they were complaining, now it's free they're complaining. I'm willing to bet when Microsoft gives everybody $50 to use Windows they'll still be complaining.
Apple screws everybody over and everyone's happy, Microsoft on the other hand can't do a thing right no matter what they do.
