Don't do the upgrade.

Do a clean install and activate it with the 7 key.

I have windows 7 pro and i would like to upgrade to windows 10. My problem is that i cant install my graphics drivers, don't even try helping that, and it is causing windows 10 to not install. I am soon getting a GTX 1060 or RX480, but not until after July 29th, the last day for upgrading to windows 10.Any suggestions as to what i can do?

-Borrow a gpu from someone?

-Microsoft is forcing people to get windows 10 for larger market share, all they care about is money, I am kind of - pretty sure they will extended although hide the fact that they want to attract investors and go with something like they are feeling generous

-take your hard drive to friends house (if you can't get their gpu) and install it

What are you talking about "cant install graphics drivers" ???

What does that have to do with installing windows 10?

 

All you need to do is put windows 10 on a USB stick, boot from it, and format and install windows. Done.

You install GPU drivers after that.

and if you do an upgrade to make activation crap less of a hassle you really really should do a clean install afterward anyway because having some win7 in your win 10 will probably mess things up

I will try to get a friend's, as for taking it to a different computer, I've tried it. I just got a blue screen because of driver conflicts.
