Windows 10: W10 Upgrade: Windows keeps saying the editions are different when they arn't?

I'm trying to upgrade my W7 Home x64 to W10 using the Media Creation Tool I just downloaded from MS, but I keep having the same issue when it gets to the part: "What would you like to keep?"


I have 3 options, but the 1st option, "Keep Everything!" is greyed out". I can only select one of the other two options. The message at the bottom of the screen explains why I can't select the 1st option:


"Your files, apps, and settings can't be kept because you're installing an edition of windows that's different than the one you're currently using."





So obviously you would think I have or chose the wrong edition, so it's my fault, but you'd be mistaken...remember, I'm using the Windows Media Tool which chooses the edition automatically well, it's suppose to and has before many of times, yet during the upgrade process, I get that dreaded message above when it asks me what I would like to keep.


What could be causing this?


I have confirmed the region and language, I have all current W7 updates.

Windows Vista editions to be easily upgradable

Every "edition" of Windows Vista will have all the features and functionality of the most expensive edition, but they'll just be locked away. Users will be able to get features of a more expensive edition by buying a key from Microsoft - you won't have to have buy a new CD/DVD package.

It isn't clear if all the bits of the complete Windows Vista will be installed on the harddrive or if you'll need the CD/DVD to install upgrades. If the former is true, buying from PC builders like Dell, who generally package basic editions of Windows, will be more attractive as the opportunity to get a more complete Windows will only be a click and credit card away. But having a few gigabtyes of data you're not using on you harddrive isn't too attractive.


Microsoft has not made an official statement, but sources close to the company say this type of distribution system is the plan. Things might change.

A source familiar with this upgrade plan says with the five editions of Windows XP, Microsoft manages five "master images." The company will only have to manage one master image of Vista with the new plan.

Microsoft has announced seven editions of Windows Vista. In order of price and functionality:

• Vista Starter Edition
• Vista Home Basic Edition
• Vista Home Premium Edition
• Vista Professional Edition
• Vista Small Business Edition
• Vista Enterprise Edition
• Vista Ultimate Edition

Wait, but have you done the whole step-by-step guide described in the OP? DDL/DTS isn't supported natively by Windows 8/8.1 either, unless if you do the steps listed there.
