Default Upgrading from Window 7 Home to Win 10 Home Questions

I am sitting at my Win 8.1 Pro 64-bit desktop. I've downloaded
the Win 10 Pro ISO and made the DVD. Took all of 16 minutes to
download, verify and burn the DVD.

BUT, I also used the same 8.1 Pro machine to download the Win 10
Home ISO that I may use for my wife's Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit
laptop.

Did I screw up? Should I have downloaded the Win 10 Home ISO on
her Win 7 laptop instead?

TIA for any help.

No. you did no screw up.

The iso file is generic and not specific to the system used to download.

I'm not so sure about that. I downloaded Win10Pro x64 on two different PCs
(both qualifying), one Win8.1 and one Win7, and the ISOs are different
sizes, by almost a full gig. I haven't tried either of them, but I have them
labeled by machine, just in case.
