Just checking.
I am on a W10 machine creating W10 install media on a USB stick.
The Microsoft web page says to boot from this stick and then install.
It is not clear if this will give me the option to upgrade, or if it
will only offer a clean install.
I have for the moment abandoned the attempt to run the upgrade from
within W7 because of apparent TLS issues.
If someone has done an upgrade of a working system using external media
I would be reassured.

I was not aware that you could upgrade to W10 from "within W7"
Boot from the stick and you will be given the option to upgrade and keep
your files.
Just dont delete any partitions on the disc - let W10 sort it out for
you
Well, here's a thing.
If you don't boot from the stick, but run "setup.exe" within W7 it does an
in situ upgrade!
About to update my signature to reflect my new OS.
I copied the contents of the boot USB stick to my internal SSD (seems to
me that would be faster during the install) and then ran the upgrade.
It all went remarkably smoothly.
Not many programmes found to be out of date.
Now we shall see how well/badly it went.
Cheers
