I was offered the free upgrade from within Windows 7 but I kept getting errors when I tried to upgrade to Windows 10. I stupidly wiped my 7 install and did a clean install of 10, which I was unable to activate because my old Windows 7 key didn't work. I wiped again and installed Windows 7 again, and now I no longer see the upgrade offer. Is there no hope of getting the free upgrade at this point?

I tried it again (that was what I used originally to try to upgrade) and now it doesn't even offer the choice to upgrade without entering a key. I would just contact Windows support but it's basically an infinitely long wait to actually talk to a human. I'll probably just stick to Windows 7 I guess, unless anyone else has an idea.
