Can't install updates.

Will I run into issues with registration keys or upgrading to 10 from 7 if it's a different drive?

No, if Windows was activated properly on the Win7 platform, the activation process should go through without any major headaches.

So I bought a new HDD, and did a clean install to get windows 10 working, how do I transfer my old files form the failing HDD? I can see the old HDD in my computer, but how do I get my windows7 files and programs on to windows 10?

Use the copy paste method, and for the programs, reinstall them.
