Windows 10
Has anyone began the conversion to 10? Problems, comments? Do you know if it loads on top of say, 7, or replaces all of the older version? Thanks, Jim

I could have called Microsoft and resolved the product key issue but it seemed simpler just to do an upgrade over my Win 7 setup followed by a clean install.
So you ended up doing the update anyway.
That is the point. It would not activate and would not take your product key. It did not treat it as a update.
You could have called MS and pay the fee. The update first made it an update.
Yes you can do a clean install ONCE you do the update.
My info came from IT and bata tester for W10.
