Is it possible to move my Windows 10 upgrade to another system?
I signed up for the Microsoft windows 10 insider program from my Windows 7 environment. Consequently, Microsoft wants to upgrade Windows 7. However, my Windows 7 environment is my production environment and I don't want to upgrade it. I do have a licensed version of Windows 8.1 running in a virtual machine. I would prefer updating it instead. Is there a way I can "move" the upgrade from my Windows 7 system to the Windows 8 system?

...so it just depends on whether your 8.1 VM install is eligible for upgrade (not an Enterprise/VL), then mount the upgrade .iso and run Setup from witihn 8.1

Ultimately I used the media creation tool as suggested by the response from Garycase. It worked like a charm!
