You have to do the upgrade first. Once you do the upgrade, then you can do a fresh install. W10 will not take your W7 key.

Do you have a link for the new version? This could come in handy.

You can try this, it's direct from M$

They pulled the .iso the other day, but some are reporting that the 1151 iso is back.

I got it from here

Use the download tool to create a USB/DVD/iso
1151 is back up. If you used it to update Win10 it would reset some privacy settings to default. If you used it for a fresh install or upgrade from 7/8 it didn't matter. The issue is fixed either way now.

Yea these new builds reset custom settings sometimes don;t they.
It ranged from a complete reset of everything on my Windows Insider Windows 10 to a partial reset on a regular laptop Windows 10 upgrade, which was then updated to a new build...
It's not cool if you spend a lot of time customizing your Windows 10...
In time, I suppose I will find out which settings get reset, and which not with each consecutive new build... but that is a hassle that only happened once on Windows 8 - when Windows 8.0 was upgraded to Windows 8.1 - it was like a new OS install, all customizations were gone...

I can verify that the newest builds available from the Media Creation Tool work as a keyless installation - you can enter the key, and activate, later on, including using a Windows 7 key to activate Windows 10 with a digital entitlement.

This is no longer the case.
I just updated my parents pc to windows 10, and I used my Windows 10 install thumb drive(usb 3.0) to get it up and running, skipped the product key initially, did all the updates for windows update, and was able to register the windows 7 pro key as a Windows 10 key. It requires the latest revision of Windows 10 to work, and the installation media of course.
