been supported for about a year now, has it?

On every occasion, the "upgrading" goes through, only to happen again
the next time.

Probably windows update got its knickers in a twist. If you run the
troubleshooter, it has an option for fixing that which works most of the
time.

Failing that delete or rename the c:\windows\Software3Distribution
folder, and then manually run windows update once again.

Alternatively download the media creation tool for win 10, and let it
upgrade the machine to 10:

7 is getting far enough out of support to be a liability now.
