..... download the Win 10 media creation tool and let it
"update" the current machine - it will give you an upgrade install of
win 10 without losing programs and data.


I thought the original in-situ upgrade option expired some time ago
and the media creation tool only produced bootable installation media
(DVD/USB) to allow you to *install* W10 but still using a W7-8
licence?

Can I conform we are still able to *upgrade* a W7-8 installation to
W10 with all user data and (more importantly) programs and settings
intact (and if so possibly also 'how' please if it's not obvious).
