Did the upgrade without any real issues from Windows 7. However I'm looking to upgrade cpu/ram/mobo 7 GPU. How do I go about reinstalling windows 10 when I only have a physical hard copy of Windows 7 retail? (sorry for the seemingly dumb question).
Windows 7 retail upgrade to windows 10

- Start date
use the media tool to download the ISO

you will have issues when it comes to reactivation because your upgrade cpu/ram/mobo/GPU so basically a whole new computer... you will either need to try the new activation troubleshooter if that fails then you'll need to try doing the phone activation if that fails then you'll need to try contacting MS but most likely MS will say no, even tho in the windows 10 license terms it saying if you upgrade from a standalone product e.g windows 7 retail then your allowed to transfer..
another guy on here is having issues getting it activated after he upgraded his cpu/ram/mobo. https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18751777
