No time to order, I'm sure. Only a few days left for the upgrade.

It is fine to do it this way. Just have to make sure you have the drivers all downloaded etc. when you do the reinstall on it.

Sadly...
Do you know/have the Windows 7 key? On devices that old, they were not always embedded yet.
If so, just install Windows 10 R1511 and enter the key. It should activate.
