Microsoft 365 - upgrade windows 7 to Windows 10
Please add the UPN (your office 365 custom domain) in your AD and attach this to your users in AD as their UPN! This change should now sync!
If they are hybrid joined they should be able to login with their UPN now
Also: make sure that the GPO for "Do not connect to any Windows Update Internet locations" is TURNED OFF!
Just to make sure: Do your licenses include Windows 10??

I get what you are saying, but let me break this down:
When I use https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 to upgrade W7 SP1 Pro to W10 Pro, will the W10 Pro be licensed and activated? If yes, how? I am not supplying a product key for W10 Pro anywhere.
I am aware of the firmware embedded product key situation. Is this playing a role here? Which means if the W7 SP1 Pro machine has a OEM Pro key embedded in its firmware. Is that pulled automatically during the upgrade to W10 Pro thereby handling the license situation at this stage?
The E3/E5 license comes later. That helps in switching W10 from Pro to Ent when the user (who has the license assigned) signs in with AAD credentials.
For this to work, the W10 Pro should be licensed and activated.
mosubram Since it is an "Upgrade" it will carry any Key over to Win 10. Anything from Win 7 - Win 8.1. If you want the win 10 Enterprise through the O365 subscription. The User with the Microsoft 365 E3 License will need to sign in to the computer. This is the same with Microsoft 365 Business. The screen shot below is from my computer that is signed in as a Microsoft 365 user. Here is a link you may like also: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/deploy-enterprise-licenses
