Guys I proceeded with media creation tool. downloaded Win10 again, checked updates and all. Now i am at the step "Choose what to keep". I already asked but I will ask again, if I choose 'clean install' then will it format the whole harddrive or only C: partition?? If anyone can reply then i can proceed further. I am halting the process till a reply. Thanks.

Only the C: partition.
[MENTION=138367]TheSloth[/MENTION],update your laptop bios to latest version available from laptop manufacturer's website.Read instructions carefully before updating bios because any interruptions like sudden power cut/insufficient battery during bios update will break your laptop.Once bios is updated,try again.

Thanks @whitestar_999 , BIOS is updated to latest version.
I opted for clean install but I encountered same error as "the installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation".
I am using Ubuntu 14.04 also in dual boot mode with a GRUB bootloader. Is that a problem?

if it is the same issue then i think there is not much hope as it relates to a particular series of intel processors which give unexpected result during a processor check by win 10 install during boot resulting in this issue.There is a solution posted on 1st page itself but it is complicated not to mention it involves modifying system files which may result in other issues due to some future windows update.

[MENTION=126812]whitestar_999[/MENTION] , yeah i did read this solution yesterday. I don't even understand the steps. And if things may go bad in future updates then what is the point.
This is bad. What will I do now?? Shall i try clean install from bootable pendrive?? It did ask me to enter the key at one step. I entered my Win7 key and it went to next step but then I chose "Keep files and settings" and it asked me to install from within current Windows installation. And then same error I encountered again.
I will try this clean install from bootable pendrive. One question, if i enter my key, suppose 2 or 3 times(cause of installation failure), there won't be any problem, right? Like, this key is already in use or something like that?

As long as install is not activated online,it doesn't matter how many times key is entered as microsoft can only know key is used when trying to activate online.btw why not try a clean install after formatting C drive,just use macrium reflect free to make image of C drive now to restore it later.

I can do this clean install after formatting C: drive but I can't make image of C: drive. I don't have enough space on my HDD to save the image, neither I have an external HDD.
I am goin to try to install from bootable pendrive, I read the steps and it says it gve me option to choose in which partition to install. So i am goin to do that. Hope it works. I will update accordingly.

Guys I installed Win10. But i did a mistake. When choosing language at the initial steps, I chose India as region and Language. Keyboard language as US international. Now i am seeing everything in hindi, like "kya aap password save karna chahte hain? Haan, Nahin" Is there any way to change language or I need to reinstall?
- - - Updated - - -
I did everything from Settings but still unable to change hindi thing.
And its showing Windows is not activated. How much time it takes. Or is it that I have to enter the Win7 keys now? Please reply asap. I need to do another clean install. I will start tonight then by the morning it will be over.

Ok this is I saw here -> win10 clean install? - Microsoft Communit

Ok guys, I entered my Win7 key just now and my Win10 is registered and activated. Phew. One huge work is over.
Now if someone could help with language thing.
PS : pardon me for asking silly questions

@billubakra , Thank you 
. I had Win 7 Home Premium, which was pre-installed when I bought my laptop. I downloaded .iso file from media creation tool and made the pendrive bootable. Then I chose Win 10 Home while installing the OS. After installing successfully, I right clicked on 'This PC' and select Properties. There I selected 'Activate Windows' and after few steps, I entered the Win 7 key which I got when I bought my laptop. Now my Win 10 is activated, successfully.
And about language thing, I tried all the methods from settings but results were same. So I decided to Repair the Windows, used bootable pendrive again to reset and this time chose "US" as region/home country. It took about 30 mins to reset the PC. All the drivers are intact and language is back to English. Now off to watch belgium vs wales as celebration
