It allows people with a valid Windows 7 product key to still do the free upgrade via fresh instal of Windows 10. During the instal it will accept a Windows 7 product key and authenticate your instal and register it with Microsoft. Of course the usual warnings about making a backup first apply. Perhaps a good time to invest in a new SSD disk drive. One of my Sony VAIO laptops upgraded fine but then after an update gave a black screen. Took a lot of fiddling to fix it and involved stopping the NVIDIA display driver installing. Adrian

AFAIK any legitimate version of Win-7 can still be upgraded to Win-10 in-situ - it will get the product key from the original installation. Or, on the same web page, you can download install media if you want to install on another machine using the original key.
