After an hour the download is at 86%. So, what's next? I have Win7 64-bit on a custom PC, so I do have my install DVD & product key. I don't want to do a clean install so will I be able to "upgrade" to Win10 & keep my software?

Also, I use Oops Back-up on a separate drive. Is that enough or do I need to clone C:?
BTW - Win7 on C: uses 100Gb of 125Gb SSD.

i think if u choose the upgrade option from the tool u will not lose ur software

PSA: YOU MUST UPGRADE YOUR EXISTING WINDOWS OS TO GET A VALID WINDOWS 10 KEY BEFORE DOING A CLEAN INSTALL : Windows10 i can't use the iso b/c there's no product key so i need to activate windows 10 on my pc first

I downloaded from here and put it on a flash drive. I installed it already on my main PC and it's working great

I downloaded from there, but it just asks for a product key when I try to upgrade my windows 7!
Any ideas?

Do you have a true valid Win 8.1 key ?
