Windows 10: Windows 10 reserve after Win 7 reinstall?

I've been having issues installing win10 from my current win7 machine. I've heard that a few people have just reinstalled their current version of windows and immediately were prompted to upgrade to win10. If I reinstall, will I keep the reserve? What is the reserve saved/based on?

Windows 10 Download

I've reserved my Win 10 upgrade with the Get Win 10 app on Win 7.

The download of Win 10 won't commence till after July 29?

Error "couldn't update the system reserved partition"

Original title: Using Get Windows 10 OS | Shop & Buy Windows 10 Devices | Check for Windows Updates, MS wouldn't upgrade my Win 7 machine to Win 10 because it "couldn't update the system reserved partition." What's this about?

Using
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-upgrade, after downloading the whole 64-bit version, MS wouldn't upgrade my Win 7 machine to Win 10 because it "couldn't update the system reserved partition." What's this about?

 

The reserve is based on the Gwx service running - to the best of my knowledge. Just skip the reserve and windows update and use the "Upgrade this PC now" option in the Media Creation Tool. (Just make sure your Windows 7 is fully activated before you do).

Windows 10

 

If I do this, will it give me Windows 10 permanently, or would it just assume I didn't have it reserved at all?
Thus, only having one year of Windows

 

You get Windows 10 permanently. Once you have Windows 10 and it is activated, open an elevated command prompt ("Run as Administrator" command prompt) and type slmgr /xpr

That will tell you your license expiration date and you should see "permanently activated".
