No more upgrades? Version 1607

Dell Latitude E6510 for example. I buys stacks of them dirt cheap without hard drives and most have Win7 COA's. I install genuine dell windows 7 pro, then run the update direct from a thumb drive which I used a media creation tool.

Once in windows it would connect,and it would activate, I would never need to type the windows 7 key from the laptop sticker anywhere.

Now this is no longer working. Win10 installs but it will not activate. I am now forced to type the windows 7 key in. This is not a problem however I am wondering why the change.

It could be a problem on those laptops that the COA has faded out, (which does happen).
 
I think there was a question early last year or in 2015 as to whether OEM Win 7 versions allowed a free upgrade to Win10. And in some cases, it may have been a matter of some versus others. I just know that either someone tried to observe it, or it was discussed.
