How though?

download the media creation tool, let it download Win10, make a bootable
DVD iso or a USB stick, boot from it ... or you can skip making the
bootable media and let the MCT begin the upgrade, but it's handy to have
media available for another time.

I think I remember the original upgrade was offered to you
automatically and then it stopped (being offered) but you may have
been able to still get it by running something yourself. Then I
thought that stopped but you could still actually install W10 using a
W7/8 key, just that you couldn't upgrade?

I don't suppose any of this works on 32 bit anyway:-(

it's fine, you can't upgrade a 32bit to a 64bit though, must clean install.
