Upgrade a Windows 7 disk to Windows 10

I have a clean install of Windows 10 on one disk drive.  I have Windows 7 with all my programs on another disk.  I want to upgrade the Windows 7 hard drive to Windows 10 and then clone that hard drive to over-write my clean install.  How do I do that?  Sorry.  It is Friday and my brain is not functioning to its max capacity.

Windows 7 may not be a good candidate for upgrading (drivers and old software). So I do not recommend this at all.

Recover your data from the Windows 7 disk , install new software versions of what you have on the Windows 10 Machine and recover your data.

In addition the Windows 10 license to do what you are suggesting is not free and I think is around $150

Thank you. It seems as if I won't get around just re-installing everything.
