Windows 10: Unsolicited upgrade to Win 10 Enterprise

Some time ago, I purchased an upgrade from Win 10 Home to Pro through the Microsoft Store for $99. Please don't tell me I must have bought it from someone else -- I have the receipt. The installation failed. The other day, I restarted my computer and ended up with Win 10 Enterprise and a demand that I activate it. But I don't have a product key or digital license for Enterprise, and I don't want one. I purchased a support incident for $499, but the Indian gentleman who handled the case was no help at all.Can anyone help me 1 get a product key so I can rescue my computer from eventual obliv

is hardware OK (Win 7) for upgrade to windows 10

I think in one of the other PC with win 7 or win 8.1 I run media creators tools and in some step prompt/found graphics card not supported... for win 10. I didn't found alone reading specs of win 10, but the tool says me... after changed graphics card the tool said all OK and continued OK with upgrade... That I ask to reach this step in this current PC - win 7 - must be all OK for the upgrade? Or must continue to upgrade to show this?
and got to point

• UPGRADE this PC now
• Create media(DVD, USB stick, ISO)

is hardware OK (Win 7) for an upgrade to windows 10 for this PC???

Does M365 E3 license (trough EA/Volume licensing) also give right to Win 10 Enterprise LTSC (IOT)?

Thanks Carl!

Diving deeper on this, I come to the following:

1. Having M365 E3 at itself gives right to upgrade to Windows 10 Enterprise.
2. The Product terms clearly exclude lower editions like Win 10 Ent LTSB/LTSC (which is apparently the same as the IOT) when it comes to certain M365 Suites like the F and the Business suite. No such exclusions are present for the E3 or the E5. Knowing the
   IOT is a bit "dressed down" version of the Win 10 ENT, the Win 10 Enterprise should give you the right to opt for the Win 10 IOT Ent. edition, if you do not have a plan that specifically excludes this.
3. The right to upgrade using the Win 10 Enterprise Upgrade option in your E3 suite, assumes there is an underlying OEM/qualifying license for your OS.
4. The Win10 Qualifying OS guidelines state:
   
   The following operating systems qualify for the Windows 10 Pro Upgrade and/or
   Windows 10 Enterprise Upgrade through Microsoft Volume Licensing:
5. Followed by a list of OS' that are required and give right to perform an upgrade via the Win 10 Enterprise Upgrade option in your suite (in this case the M365 E3 suite).

So I would say based on this that it is possible to upgrade to Win 10 IOT Enterprise/LTSC if you also comply with the Qualifying OS list.

So for example:

- if you have Windows 7 Embedded POSReady devices, then you cannot upgrade these via the the E3 to either Windows 10 Enterprise or Windows 10 IOT Enterprise, as it is not a qualifying OS.

- if you have Windows Embedded 8.1 Pro, you should be able to upgrade to either Windows 10 Enterprise or Windows 10 IOT Enterprise, as it is a qualifying OS.

Or I am completely wrong and missing something essential here...
