Officially it‘s not supported anymore, but I heard reports, that it still works.
Maybe you‘ll need to manually activate Win 10 using the Win 7 key.
Be sure to select „Windows 10“ (sometimes called „Home“ or „Core“) and not the „Pro“/„Education“/whatever else.
If you want to maximise your chances, you can try one of these methods:
- backup data
- run .\sources\GatherOSState.exe (on USB) as admin and save the GenuineTicket.xml
- upgrade to Windows 10
- check, if activated; if yes continue
- replace HDD with SSD
- do a fresh Win 10 setup
- maybe you‘ll need to activate using the saved GenuineTicket.xml or the Win 7 key
Possible problem: the hardware changed after the upgrade-activation; I‘m not sure, if MS accepts that
Possible problem: the official free upgrade ended
- backup data
- replace HDD with SSD
- install and activate Windows 7
- run .\sources\GatherOSState.exe as admin and save the GenuineTicket.xml
- upgrade Win 7 to Win 10
- check if Win 10 has been activated; if yes, you‘re safe to do a clean reinstall; if not, try the GenuineTicket or the Win 7 key
Possible problem: the official free upgrade ended
