[Dallar14]

The free upgrades are from Win 7 and Win 8.1, provided the hardware is compatible with Win 10.

What is your present computer and what OS do you have?

Best installation for the upgrade is to get the media creation tool from MS.

Many have issues with Auto update and you must have W7 or later to do an update.

Open File Explorer
Right click on My Computer
Select Properties
What does it say?

Also, down at the bottom right of that window, does it say something about 'activated'?

If that is what it actually says in System Properties, then you cannot Upgrade to Win 10 from this.

If you are able to provide a screenshot of this, we could say 100% one way or the other.
But it's not looking good so far.
