Did you select W10 Pro from the option screen on the MCT installer program screen? It gives you a choice of either W10 Home
OR W10 Pro as discussed previously. If you selected
W10 HOME, and it failed but still shows the
W10 PRO version, then you've got a bigger problem here.
Per my instructions in
POST #6 & POST #8, did you remember to run the
W10 COMPATIBILITY TEST during the initial part of the W10 install?
If not, you should repeat your install, wipe the drive and run the
W10 COMPATIBILITY TEST as instructed. Post back your result.
Follow the instructions from the
W10 COMPATIBILITY TEST REPORT, and remove any apps, drivers, or hardware such as extra storage drives internal and external (USB), and printers, webcams, scanners, trackballs, etc. Attempt the reinstall. Post back your result.
At this point, you could be experiencing some kind of hardware failure.
Did you test your RAM memory sticks and Hard Drive per the linked posts I gave you?
If this testing is too much work, you can purchase a new hard drive from your local computer store of similar capacity and swap the new drive out with your old one, reinstall, run the
W10 COMPATIBILITY TEST, follow the instructions. Post back your result.
What would be helpful at this point is to get the
EXACT specs on your computer so we can analyze your hardware and make some better recommendations that are specific to your exact model computer. Please post all hardware specs, including Make/Model of your computer. If a desktop PC or a laptop/table? If it's a self-built PC or a desktop PC? If a self-built or custom-built PC, please post make/model of your PSU and the wattage. This may require you to open the case up and look at the PSU label, if you don't have the paperwork around. If you don't have them or can't find them or don't know how to do this, go to piriform.com and download the free
SPECCY diagnostic. Install
SPECCY, and post back the resulting output text file back here to this thread so we can analyze.
It's important to note that now that you've passed the deadline date of July 29th the free upgrade will no longer work; so only the W10 clean install is an option. And to Activate the W10 now, you'll have to pay Microsoft for a W10 license key.
Retail is $119 for W10 Home and $199 for W10 Pro. You can find these for
$80-$205 online if you shop around.
