Windows 7 to Windows 10?

So I am about to build a gaming PC. To keep costs down, rather than purchasing Windows 10, can I buy Windows 7 then get the free upgrade to Windows 10?

Not sure legitimate copies of Win 7 are available.

Ocuk still sell Windows 7 professional, but time you bought that it would be just as cheap to buy Win 10 direct.

Windows 10 would be retail version.

Windows 7 OEM and windows 10 OEM are the same price, so there aren't any costs to keep down by buying windows 7 and upgrading to 10.
