I'm at my workplace which does not let me view the Ulead Website due to our firewall. But I can tell you where to look.
Goto the Ulead Website and follow the links to purchase the upgrade.
One of the screen you will be presented with will include a list of Ulead Products that qualify for the upgrade.

The capture quality in VS7 is really no different to that in VS10+, though the exact quality of that capture will depend on a few things.
First, the easy one: did the captured video only look bad on the VS7 preview screen? If so, then you need to be aware that the preview screen is only there to give you a general idea of what the video looks like. There is a somewhat heated discussion going on about this in another thread. But briefly, the preview screen is perhaps my chief complaint against Video Studio in consecutive versions. In my case, the preview always looks grainy or at least not sharp, and a little dark. But the end product is always excellent. Moreover, I have used a variety of video editing programs, and none of them have a truly good preview screen...
Potentially more problematic, re capture quality, is to ask what format you were capturing in and how you were doing it. If you have a mini DV digital video camera, then to get high quality video, you MUST capture in DV format using Firewire. And if your computer does not have a Firewire card, there is no alternative but to buy one (and a firewire cable -- usually small 4 pin for the camera end and larger 6 pin plug for the computer end). With the exception of a handful of expensive top-end cameras, a camera's USB connection is only used for either transmission of still photos taken by the camera, or else low quality streaming video.
A third possibility is that you are trying to capture from a DV camera but capturing to mpeg-2 format. This is a very big ask of a computer, so you need to have a relatively powerful computer to do it. If you are trying to capture analogue video e.g. from an analogue video camera or a VCR, and are using a standard capture card which uses yellow/red/white RCA cables, don't expect too high a quality. The solution is to either use your digital video camera as a pass-through device which converts the analogue signal to DV for transmission to the computer via Firewire; OR buy a relatively expensive capture device which is hardware wired to convert the analogue signal to DV; OR (as in my case), buy a Digital 8 video camera which can play back analogue 8mm or Hi8 tapes, and sends these as a DV signal via Firewire to your computer.
A fourth possibility is that if you are indeed capturing in DV format, the Options cogwheel on the Capture page is set to use Type 2 encoder instead of the recommended Type 1. Again, if your computer is not powerful enough, Type 2 will typically capture jerky video and/or audio.
