You could try downloading the iso file directly instead of using MCT.
extract the iso file using 7-zip.
then run setup.exe which is in the extracted folder.
I suggest before you start you make sure all hardware is working with the correct drivers and you make sure Windows 7 has the latest updates. When you are satisfied do a system backup in case there is a problem with the upgrade.
I just did a free upgrade from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro yesterday. I didn't download anything directly. I just went to the Download Windows 10 webpage and selected Update now. An hour and a few reboots later the computer was running Windows 10.

Considering it was a 17 year old laptop things went smoothly. Back in 2006 the laptop came with Windows XP Media Center edition. Last week I replaced the hard drive and installed Windows 7 Home Premium. This was just to make sure I could get everything working. When that was done I did an Anytime Upgrade to Windows 7 Pro. This week I did the free upgrade to Windows 10 Pro. Note I already had keys for both Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7 Pro. Only Windows 10 Pro was a free upgrade.
All updates up to date, When I unzip the iso file with 7-zip it does not come up with an icon setup.exe?? So can't go forward from.there?
Why would it come up with an icon?
setup.exe is in the folder you unpacked the iso to.
rt click on setup.exe and run as admin
When I unzip the mediacreation file I get alot more files about 14-15. i dont get the options shown above? The setup.exe isn't there ? i dont think I'm doing anything wrong? Following all the tutorials online etc
