The upgrade is still free…or at least they still are for me in the US as recently as earlier this year…I have an old Vostro that gets so little use it is faster to reinstall W10 from scratch than upgrade.
The same was true for the old Precision workstation a couple of years ago when I gave it to my kid.
And several other machines including a Win7 Thinkpad off eBay.
My advice is download the installation tool and give it a try.
Backup first as needed of course.
Think of all the complaints Microsoft avoids by keeping Windows 10 available without a bunch of time, money, and rigmarole.
