Windows will no longer deliver the upgrade tool via automatic update, but you can download it here — https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO — via the *Create Windows 10 Media Installation* tool. It will definitely upgrade Windows 8 (as that's what would install on my laptop) and may do Windows 7 too. This means I bought an unnecessary (by anyone's definition) Windows 10 Pro licence. It wasn't as cheap as Evan's copy (it's from a more-legit source), but it was still about $60. Quite a lot for one line of text ... Stewart
