Win 7 activation, UEFI > Win10 upgrade valid?

Normally I'd take this sort of thing to /g/ but with this new board I'll give it a try - not sure how technical the discussions get here.
I have a friend who has recently reformatted their PC and reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate x64 after their previous Win 7 (RemoveWAT used I think but nothing else?) to Win10 upgrade started claiming it wasn't activated. Before I could tell them to try a few things to activate 10, they have already reinstalled 7 and replaced all their games and crap.
Thus far, they haven't run anything to activate Win7 Ultimate x64. I'm trying to help them find a way to activate Win7 so they can upgrade to Win10 Pro and it stay upgraded, thus locking them into having an activated Win10 hashed/saved on MS servers whenever they need to update.
Normally, I'd tell them to just use Daz Loader 2.2.2 , but there's an issue I think. I read that DazLoader doesn't work to activate copies installed on a UEFI mobo system, as Win 7 installs with GPT instead of MBR if it notices you have UEFI running in non-legacy mode at time of install. Right? DazLoader suggests reinstalling windows and manually setting it to use MBR etc... but I know my friend won't want to do that as they spend yesterday restoring backups and downloading etc. So I'm trying to find a way around.
Thus, I'm wondering about some sort of KMS activation, like KMSPico or Microsoft Toolkit. Does anyone know if you can register/activate Win7 Ultimate x64 using one of these, and have it "stick" properly to Upgrade to Win10 Pro being now legit activated?
