Windows 10: Win 10 Pro: Retail vs upgrading from win 7 Pro license

I'll be installing win 10 Pro to a test machine in the next weeks. Is there a 'version difference' in buying the retail version as opposed to "trading in" a win 7 pro license?
I guess my question really is, does buying the retail version translate to more control over Win 10 options as pertain to privacy and updates? Any other differences?

Thanks.

Upgrade Win 10 Home to Win 10 Pro with Win 7 Upgrade Key

I have a new computer with Win 10 Home installed (digital license, already activated by manufacturer, works fine). Can I upgrade to Win 10 Pro with a Win 7 Pro upgrade license? The license I have for Win 7 Pro is an upgrade version purchased from Microsoft
(not a full install version). Additionally, the Win 7 Pro upgrade license has been previously used on a computer that has not existed for about 3 years now. If this is not possible, can I use a Win 7 Pro upgrade (not full install) license (purchased from Microsoft)
that has NEVER been used? Thanks.

 

Upgrade a win 7 pro system to win 10 pro

I want to upgrade a Win 7 pro system to Win 10 pro. I want to do an upgrade and NOT a clean install.

My question: Can I use the commercial version (available from computer stores) of win 10 to upgrade the win 7 system and use the license key that I assume comes with the package? In other words will I have a choice to do either an upgrade or a clean install?

If the answer is NO then if I use the "media create tool" to create and ISO bootable disk and use that to upgrade the system where/how do I obtain a license key?

Win 7 OEM to 10 upgrade, will Retail key be allowed

Last question. My free Win 10 upgrade is less than 30 days old. Can I go back to my original OEM Win 7 Pro?

If so, I found a Win 7 Pro Retail copy for very cheap. Can I then use this to Retail Win 7 Pro to update my OEM Win 7 Pro, move to new machine and afterwards get free win 10 upgrade with my complete system moved ??
