I’ve decided to upgrade from windows 8.1 to 10 but I’m having a problem. It won’t launch. What I did was from windows 8, I plugged in the flash drive that I bought from Microsoft. A window pop up and there was a .exe file. I double clicked and it said installing updates and then I put in the key. After it was done with that, my computer restarted and I made it boot up from the flash drive. Then I choose my operating system (64 bit) and it says “loading files” then I see the windows 10 startup screen, then it crashes saying windows has failed to start. (See attached files). Apparently I have some kind of important drivers missing or something. I’ve looked up on how to fix this but nothing worked. I can’t even start windows. I can’t troubleshoot. Maybe I did something wrong but I don’t know what. Should I format my main drive? Should I have started up from the flash in bios right away instead? I have a 4 Year old asus gaming laptop with a dual core i5, 16 GB of ram and a gtx 660M. I meet all the minimum requirements for windows 10. I will provide more information if necessary.
