Just thought I would share what I did this weekend.
I have a Dell D630 that had windows 7 enterprise 32 bit on it for work use . It's used for email ,viewing 32 Gigs of PDFs and some apps. It only has a 120 G drive with 15 G left. I purchased a 1T drive from amazon for $60.
Since they stopped supporting movie maker they were allowing windows 7 user upgrade to windows 10 so they could use the Photo app in Windows 10.
I used the media creation tool down load but it would not work for W7 enterprise. I had an old Tower pc that I still had the windows 7 pro 64 bit CD with the product number key.
I installed the hd in the laptop then installed W7 64 bit on new HD . Entered the product key and then had it do all the updates . The below link was used to get the windows 10 media creation tool.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/softwar ... /windows10
Windows 10 down loaded then started to install but wanted a W 10 key since the W 7 was not activated. So I cancelled then
ran the windows 7 activation .It came up genuine.
I tried again and it installed.
I now have W10 64 bit on my laptop but have to reload all my apps.
If you have non enterprise, you can still do this with out loosing your data .
