Also consider making windows media tool thumb drive and upgrade right off a fresh install rather than spend 47 hours installing updates to get to the windows 10 one?

I tried this but you can't do a clean install with a Windows 7 key.
You also don't need to do all the updates. There's a standalone "Windows 10 upgrade" app you can download immediately after installing Win7.
Once you're upgraded and activated in Windows 10, you can do a clean install. MS takes a hardware signature or something that lets you re-install Win10.
