You shouldn't need to buy it.
If your W7 is licenced, just download the upgrade from Microsoft.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/upgrade/windows-10-upgrade-paths#windows-7
I think originally MS said free upgrade was only for a limited period (first year or so after release, if I remember correctly), but I last did an upgrade from W7 to W10 a couple of years ago for a spare PC that I use for backing up our laptops and it worked fine using the licence code from W7 to activate it. It may have taken a couple of reboots to get it to register though.
As a precaution, take a backup of your system and use it to make a W7 recovery disk/drive, so you can revert if for some reason it doesn't work.
