Howdy again sir johannpiber! Mrs. J had an old Windows 7 system and I just read that they were going to stop supporting and sending security updates and such...for that system. Do you know if it costs money to upgrade?
There was a workaround with the Windows Update Assistant, which you could Download from the Microsoft Website, or you could make a clean install of Windows 10 and use your Windows 7 license key.
But I have never tried the Update Assistant, and also not the other way. I upgraded all computers when Windows 10 came out, and the computers I bought later had Windows 10 already installed.

Hello @janton :)
Yes, the Windows 10 upgrade isn't free anymore.

Howdy again sir johannpiber! Thanks for all the information. I have no idea if we have the Windows 7 license key, probably not!
The key must be either on a sticker on the PC or stored in the Windows System, but please don't ask me how to get it 🤔

My pleasure @janton :)
