Windows 10: Use image to upgrade to Windows 10

I have several machine running Windows 7 Professional that I want to upgrade to Windows 10. Question is can I upgrade 1 machine add my other programs Office etc , take an image and then use that image to upgrade the other machines. Adding a new machine using Win7 image was easy, install the image changes the license number for Win7 & Office reboot and that was it.
Thanks in advance for you advice.

Reverting back to 7 is not possible, who would of guessed? God damn wheres the **** support for this ****!

I have also tried to use an Ethernet cable to connect to the internet and the same or similar problems arise (not being able to access the flashing or none flashing taskbar with along with the windows associated programs). I suppose the direction windows
is going, that internet is just a useless thing of the past??

Windows 11 or "9" must be the answer to the inbred thinking to windows 10. AWFUL COMPANY AND PRODUCT! thanks for the damn support i feel appreciated as a customer.

I will just disregard this message and revert back to Windows 7. This has been very disappointing. This is a Microsoft upgrade and a Microsoft issue, which there is minute support for. I use this computer for work purposes, and this experience has done nothing
but conflict the way I make my money. Therefor, I will not be wasting my money on a company that has no interest in supporting their customers or taking the time (three years obviously was not nearly enough) to make sure,
their product, is fully functional before it is pushed out.

Please ignore this entire post unless there is a known fix or an update that solves the incompetency of this upgrade. I wish to not waste anymore of my time with dead ends. Wish me good luck in reverting back to 7 as I have little faith in this faulty operating
system!

 

Maybe. Using this method:

I'd make an image of the Windows 7 on the other machines first so you have something easy to go back to if it fails.

To increase the chances of it working, I would upgrade the other computers to Windows 10 first using the standard upgrade process - then attempt to replace the activated Windows 10 with your image.

Although, this begs to ask the question - how many licenses for the MS Office that you are copying do you have?

 

Thanks NavyLCDR for your reply.
As stated in my in my "Question" I have an image for the Win7, Office etc. (All PC's are same make and model HP), documents etc are loaded from Linux file server when user logs in.
I will try the method from the link you kindly provided. That would be the way to go if it works when using an image to install. I have about 10 machines to do.

 

If your machines are using multi-activation license (bulk license) it's possible. But if each machine have different licenses, each one had to go through an upgrade process for the first time to get a Win 10 license for it.

 

They are all single license machines, so looks like a little bit of work ahead, thanks again for your help

This provides the result of the upgrade process to a clean Windows 10 installation for activation purposes. It's just a question of whether or not it will work with an image.
