I want to use W10 64-bit, either Pro or LTSC; the latter has the advantage
of being already de-clutterd and also updates are available.
I object to paying full price for obsolete softeware, so any suggestions >please?

Buy W11, and pay full price, as it isn't obsolete?
Can you distinguish morally between stealing MS's software and robbing
the bank so you can pay for the software?

Why not just download the media creation tool from the Microsoft web
site, then install W10 without a licence key ?
The extra features which you are "missing out" on are hardly worth
worrying about.

I'll try the W7 key - might work on Pro but doubtful on LTSC edition.

I'm pretty sure that I did upgrade from W7 to W10 without buying a key.
Long time ago now.

On an aside, a friend recently bought an ex-business laptop. It was delivered with Windows 11 Home "installed with a digital licence".
As she didn't trust the recycler, she re-installed Windows 11 from
scratch using the media creation tool, and was "rewarded" with an
activated install of Windows 11 Pro (not home), Installed with a
"digital licence linked to her Microsoft account"
So effectively her free update to Windows Pro?
