It can still be done. I found this on Microsoft's site and upgraded both mine and my son's PC over the weekend.

Link Removed

I installed new windows 7 machines, activated with 7 key, THEN upgraded to 10 using the media from the link. Didn't ask to activate or anything.

From what I heard/read somewhere, but I can't recall the source Microsoft upgraded all active Windows 7/8.1 licenses so I believe as long as you have/had a running Windows 7/8 system should should be able to upgrade to Windows 10 without issue. If you were to buy a license (if you can find one) it would not upgrade.
