I believe you have to upgrade first.

If you force install Windows 10, be prepared for driver related issues.

Microsoft is blocking the update for those who has hardware that has issues with their drivers under Windows 10.

The "Get Windows 10" app tell you about this, if that is the case. Else it will tell you it is being released in waves in which case, you can wait, or force the update.
