Hi and I hope this brings to light some of the installation woes Ive seen from many users. The only tried and tested way I found to do the upgrade...IS TO DO A CLEAN INSTALL and to use the windows 10 ISO tool.
This requires also doing a clean install of the operating system you are upgrading...AH yes for those of you without the willingness to spend the unpleasantness of re configuring your settings and such ..I am sorry but for me I find whats more compelling is to just move on and get the install finished.
First I HIGHLY recommend that you back up your data!!
Second get out your win7 or win8 install media and reinstall the o/s (without any peripherals devices attached)
Third, DO NOT update the o/s but instead insert the win10 iso tool and start the upgrade.
When prompted during the upgrade... !-DO NOT download updates until install completed; and 2-DO NOT keep windows settings, personal files and apps; in other words make this a CLEAN INSTALLATION cause I believe Microsoft has not tested every conceivable configuration and JUST MAYBE yours has some bug they haven't tested and failure is imminent!!!
Well, there is my 2 cents and for the record..using my method I have had NO problems doing the upgrade...just had to spend some time reinstalling my apps (programs) and desktop settings. Hope this helps
