Windows 7 expiry

Depends on how much of your disk space is used. An external USB3 2TB portable hard drive will probably be sufficient. A Seagate one from Amazon is about £55

Fit an ssd and install Linux Mint.

So I can't seem to find how to upgrade from Win 7 [Pro] to 10 for free despite lots of people says here it still is a free upgrade, I know it was offered a few years ago, but doesn't seem to be now. Does anyone have an official Microsoft link?
I have one machine that is still on 7 Pro that I want to update, all the others are new with 10 already.

If you are stuck, you might have to do a full fresh install of Win 10. There are Win 10 Pro keys on eBay that cost less than £10.

Buying from Ebay is risky. Bought Office 2016 installed but the product key wasn't working. Lost few quid...

Unfortunately another who seems to be on my ignore list for one reason or another. So someone else will have to help.

You were a good help to me on a couple of occasions, got me from W7 to W10 smoothly, all fine.


You've got a lot of good advice, so don't hide away.

Not hiding. Just returned from holiday.

Have no idea why some are on the ignore list. Usually either time wasting or argumentative.

They go there so i remember to not waste my time in the future. Still lots of others who genuinely wish to move forward.

I upgraded for free a couple of weeks ago, I need a key finder to find my win7 licence key and put that in when win10 asked for it.

I had to get rid of office 2010 too as my ISP was withdrawing support for it so I would have had to log in to them to get my emails.

Not sure if you meant you need one in which case http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html#DownloadLinks should do the job.
