Hey guys Ive been going crazy trying to get Windows 10 to work on my girlfriends computer. Ive done it 2 times successfully on mine with 0 issue and have been working on hers for 3 days now and am no closer than I was at the start
First off
- I have windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and it is definitively Genuine & activated
- I am fully up to date(but have noticed some updates have failed)
- I have disconnected everything from the PC other than the keyboard & mouse so that I can start the update
- I have tried to disable the Display adapter in the device manager
- I have tried a clean boot with no startup or non Microsoft services
Methods I have tried
- Auto update in the bottom right - Just sits for hours and hours with no progress
- Media Creation tool Update this pc now (An unknown command line option [DynamicUpdate] was specified)
- Media Creation tool to make a USB run from within windows (" Configuration sets are only supported when Windows installation is started from windows PE")
- Media Creation tool to make a USB to boot from ("Windows cannot read the <product key> setting from the unattend answer file.")
- An ISO to boot from within windows (" Configuration sets are only supported when Windows installation is started from windows PE")
A clean boot(Deleting everything and installing a fresh copy) Is my last resort and I want to avoid it since a ton of work programs and files have already been installed on the machine and would be a real hassle to have done again.
Even if I go this route I believe I would need a key code which I only have for windows 7 Ult 64 so not sure how this would work.
Any clue on how I can actually get this upgrade?
TLDR: Error message from every installation method, Only methods I havent tried are DVD installation and wipe/clean boot
