Select Windows 10 from the first drop down at the top (not single language at the bottom)
Then your language and then your bit version to match your system architecture or your current installation of Windows (32 or 64 bit).
That will provide an ISO file that will upgrade or clean install either the Home or Pro version.
Once you have downloaded the ISO you can use ImgBurn to burn it to a DVD http://imgburn.com/index.php?act=download
OR
Rufus to burn it to a USB ThumbDrive http://rufus.akeo.ie/
And then run setup.exe to upgrade your current windows installation

Solved the problem, in a way. Evidently, in my case, once I did a free upgrade and then uninstalled it, I was unable to do a free upgrade on that particular HD.
What I did, was to connect a second HD on which I had cloned an early version of Win 7. Ran a clean install on that drive, the updates took a while, then I was able to go back to a previous site and download a free Win10 upgrade.
Took some time, but it worked. Thanks also for your help.
