Windows 10 Impossible to upgrade to windows 10 from 7 Ultimate?

Hi Gary and everyone else reading this thread,
As promised I concluded the installation test portion of my procedure yesterday.
Reporting back 1st success ever using the Microsoft MCT tool!!

Thanks for posting that information, Bro! Wish I'd know about that last year when I was fooling around with all the different methods of creating a W10 bootable USB stick! The non-SanDisk Verbatim 16GB stick worked perfectly on a Clean Install. I tested the 64bit in both the W10 Home and the W10 Pro options on my W10 test machine and they worked perfectly the first time! I'm certain that if I attempt these same 2 install options on a 32bit machine from this same Verbatim USB stick they will both work as well.

I certainly would like to know why SanDisk has suddenly developed this problem? Anyone reading this who could shed some light on the reason why Win8x and Win10 cannot be used with the MCT tool for use as a bootable USB stick would certainly have some helpful information for our forum users. I suspect it has to do with the massive Kernel redesign of Windows beginning with Win8.

It's also interesting that this problem has been around for about 3 years, since the release of Win8. Probably, I'm just hearing about it since I didn't have a legit Win8 license media as I said in my Posts above describing the problem. Or, I'm just getting old! Ha!

For folks following this thread, I'll mention that I've been able to create bootable USB sticks on SanDisk brand media for the following: Win2k, XP, Vista, Win7x, Win10, Kubuntu LTS Linux v14.1, and DOS6.1 using various tools. The tool for creating USB sticks for those OSes I used most successfully is the WiNToBootIC.

Cheers!
