Windows 8.1 refuses to upgrade to Windows 10

I have an Acer Aspire 5750G that shipped with Windows 7 Home Premium. I reserved my Windows 10 copy after installing all updates that were available, downloaded the ISO, burnt it on a DVD and upgraded to Windows 10 by running the setup on the DVD from within Windows 7, no issues. Windows 10 up and running, all my applications still work.


AND THEN


My wife has an Acer Aspire E1 570 that shipped with Windows 8. I followed the same route, installed all updates until there weren't any more, reserved a copy of Windows 10, proceeded to the DVD phase, and, the bugger keeps asking me for a serial key. I don't have one. The laptop doesn't even have a sticker with the serial for the Windows 8 that it came with.


Any suggestions on how I can get past this would be much appreciated!
