    Do we have to download windows 10 every time if u already have a copy of it or is there a way to avoid that to do the update. Thanks.

    Heard there should exist an ISO, but take with salt. Check the Sticky threads, find someone competent and ask him gently :D.

    You should check out the Media Creation Tool for Windows 10. But if you want to download different versions of Windows 10 like Home, Pro, Single Language, N etc. you will have to download them each time.

    just download en_windows_10_multiple_editions_x64_dvd_6846432.iso from torrent or any source
    upgrade / fresh install after upgrade as you wish. [ win 10 home & pro in the ISO]

    That's what I did.

    But how do you get it to upgrade?

    So installed 7 home, its genuine.
    Ive downloaded the iso from here (hxxp://microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/techbench) "Windows 10 N X64"
    Used Rufus to place it on usb.
    Run setup on 7 and it comes up asking for key, but i cant skip that part.

    Windows 7 also needs to have Service Pack 1 installed, is your version of 7 updated?

    You are doing a fresh clean install with no previous key being associated to the install process, Thus why MS said first to do upgrade installs first from win 7 or 8 with a key to get the activation ID on MS servers before doing fresh clean install then you would automatically be activated.

    Is the Upgrade path correct? I.e. Home Premium to Home not to Pro?

    So what i've done is installed 7 home basic (using Windows 7 SP1 5in1 x64 en-US Jun2015 by murphy78)
    Used Daz Loader v2.2.2
    Run WAT fix
    Checked to make sure it come up genuine on MS site

    Ive downloaded the iso from here (hxxp://microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/techbench) "Windows 10 N X64"
    This should have both home and pro right.

    Used Rufus to place Windows 10 N X64 on usb, plugged usb onto laptop with 7 installed
    Run setup.exe from usb on 7 and it comes up asking for key with no skip button.
