  You have to perform a Clean installation-there is no in-place upgrade path from 32 bit versions of Windows to Windows 10 64 bit.

  Hi,

  Starting with the November update, Windows 10 (Version 1511) can be activated using some Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 product keys.

  To confirm if your key is valid, please read this article:

  Activation in Windows 10

  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows-10/activation-in-windows-10

  Please use the Media Creation Tool to burn the media, and then do clean installation of Windows 10 version 1511.

  To get Media Creation Tool, access this address:

  Get Windows 10

  https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

  After that, use your Windows 7 key to activate the Windows 10.
