Windows 10: Moving From Win 7 Home Premium X86 To Win 10-Pro 1909 X64

I have a 64 bit PC presently running Win 7 Home Premium X86 that I want to transition to Win 10-Pro X64 1909. As can be expected, the apps currently installed on this PC are X86 versions for which X64 versions mostly do not exist. I also have a new Win 10-Pro x64 install disc and a never used Win 10-Pro COA/key. The transition will be much easier if I can avoid having to reinstall the x86 apps from scratch. I also have a Win 10-Pro 1909 X64 ISO disc, X86/X64 backup software and a very large external backup disc.

Any advice on how best to achieve this transition as I am 82 and my Windows skill level is not that of a much younger and/or more knowledgeable person. Also, are there any unusual pitfalls in such a transition I need to pay special attention to? Thanks, in advance, for advice, guidance, pointers to appropriate tutorials, warnings, or anything else

Windows 10 pro 1903 will not update to Win 10 Pro 1909

Notes:

1) Computer originaly used Win 7 Pro OA (OEM)

2) Reformatted the HD

3) Used Win10 Pro version 1903 to install on the Win 7 Pro OA (OEM) based computer.

4) Used the OA Product Key that was listed on the Computers Case.

5) Installation completed.
Program confirms activation is valid.

6) Win 10 Pro will not list an available upgrade to Win 10 pro version 1909.

Windows 7 Home Premium to Win 10 Pro

Currently running Windows 7 Home Premium. Although 90%+ use is business the version was selected for Media Center. With WMC going away I would like to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro rather than home. I understand the "Free" upgrade from Win 7 Home Premium is
to Win 10 Home. Is there a path to Win 10 Pro? Free or otherwise.
