How can I install Windows 10 after failure to update Windows?

how can I install Windows 10 after failure to update windows

Windows 7 stopped automated updating. I reset and then update was possible again, I also could register for Windows 10. Then however automated update stopped again and all displayed ways to fix it, including installation of a hotfix and deleting the files in the folder SoftwareDistribution\ \Download and \Datastore did not help. It however made it impossible to reset the computer.
Now I don't need updating Windows 7, I want to go Windows 10 immediately

If you upgraded your W7 activation then you could just clean install from a USB, but it seems that you didn't get that far. If you go straight to W10 then it may not activate
