Hello, I have a computer running Windows 7 and I would like to upgrade to Windows 10 but when I launch the upgrade tool an error appears:
C:\User\ \Downloads\Windows10Upgrade9252.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
Thank you, have a good day

Hello,
Wouldn't you prefer to install it fresh?
It might be your only choice.
Use the tool to download the Windows ISO file (For another PC) to create a USB drive (Minimum 8GB) to install Windows
https://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/software-download/windows10/
Once you have the Windows ISO file that you can download from the tool, you can create your USB drive with Rufus 2.18
You need to create the drive in MBR mode
Boot from it using the Boot Menu key of the PC
You can search on Google "[Brand Model] Boot Menu Key"
Choose "Custom installation" (Not upgrade)
No need to format if there’s space; if there are files, they will be found in a Windows.old folder (which will be automatically deleted after 10 days)
Install on the same partition, or if you prefer, delete all system partitions and create a new one (This will delete the data).
