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

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