How can a legal entity confirm the legality of a free upgrade to Windows 10 in case of verification?

For example, a check came in: according to the license documents Windows 7, and Windows 10 is installed. What document can be used to confirm the legality of such a transition?
I hope it won't be necessary, but it's better to play it safe, given the stories about the fact that licenses are sometimes checked for Linux as well.
I was looking for an answer specifically for legal entities without a Software Assurance subscription, but I did not find it. The only thing that was advised on the hotline was to write a request to the Microsoft info center and wait for an official response, which will be a confirmation.

If your software was purchased through corporate distribution channels, then everything depends on the subscription. A one-time purchase of Windows 7 GGK licenses does not entitle you to a free upgrade to Windows 10, as commercial use of Windows 10 is covered by a separate license agreement. If you have a subscription with the right to receive new versions of the OS and software, then you update under this agreement, which should not cause questions from the supervisory authorities.

When checking, they require purchase confirmation documents + IMHO, in your case, a printed document with a link to the original (descriptions of the update rules on Microsoft) that the company allows you to upgrade from license A to B (similar to Linux)
