Simplest solution may be an in-place upgrade.

Windows 7 to 10 can be performed:

a) for free
b) using the upgrade assistant
c) using a Windows 10 iso
d) making a clean install
e) using third party software (not free) to upgrade and move applications

  • There is no need of moving or copying the files to a mass storage.

  • Please insert your windows 10 installation media into your PC and run it (It may ask for administrator permission).

  • Accept terms and condition and proceed.

  • Then it will prompt select an option :-
    Keep the files or remove all files.

  • Select 'Keep the files' option and proceed installation.

  • All your files will be kept and installation will proceed in selected partition with enough space.

  • Windows 7 OS files will be saved as 'Windows~old'.
