TL DR go-to the website and get the upgrade tool, have your product key ready
or use a program to pull your key
i believe the time period for free upgrades is long over
any kind of upgrade from 7 to 10 (in my experience at least) does a dirty install over 7 with 10
leaving all the old 7 files and registry
i very quickly ran into issues with my old windows 7 files still being available
almost anything you want to do will want to verify your product key
just to verify you have home and not pro, so you don't upgrade to pro
for safety, 7 isn't getting updates and is riddled with bugs and exploits
10 isn't much better but it's getting updates
10 also will make your microphone on and records everything around you
10 also will make your camera on and records everything around you
they send both to Microsoft
good luck turning anything off as every updated will reset most things to back on
if you modify your host files, windows says it's infected and deletes it
if you modify your host files, and add windows adware telemetry to the sites blocked your pc blue screens
with all that said please install Linux and save your computer from being tortured
windows will torture your hdd and ssd
