Q: Bootcamp update to run Windows 10

For the first time I'm trying to work this "Bootcamp" and it tells me I need Windows 7, which I don't have and I can't seem to understand what I can do.

Can I update my bootcamp in order to run the Windows 10? instead of being stick on not making my bootcamp work for me?

I need some understanding how this all works, plus I can't seem to even find a Windows 7 download with a product key

Thanks

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

1. If you have a valid Product Key, download Windows from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/home .
2. To install Windows on a Mac, please see How to install Windows using Boot Camp - Apple Support .
3. The following links should help

It wants me download Windows 7 and I can't download Windows 10 because I need Windows 7 to move to that point and I don't have a Windows 7 product key too

1. You need to have W7 installed/activated on a Mac to be eligible for W10 upgrade on a supported Mac.
2. You can buy a W10 Product license directly, instead of a W7 and directly download/install W10.
